The lab studies obesity and its complications from both the biology of the body and the social side.

The Disease Preventive Medicine Lab studies obesity and its complications from two sides: causes inside the body, and social causes and problems. It is a new lab established in January 2025. Obesity is often thought to result from overeating and lack of exercise, but constitution and the environment from early childhood are also thought to influence a person's tendency to gain weight and their appetite. The lab seeks to do away with the idea that reaching a standard body weight is what makes a person healthy, and explores realistic weight-loss approaches for treating complications.
