Name: Eric Taylor, PhD
Title:  Associate Professor
Focus Area: Dr. Taylor’s laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial function in hepatocytes and gluconeogenesis in the liver. Specifically, he studies the relationship between the function of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) protein in the liver and pathologically elevated gluconeogenesis in diabetes. His laboratory has an additional interest in problems related to skeletal muscle function in diabetes. Dr. Taylor brings new strengths in the area of hepatic glucose metabolism to the Center’s CFRD research.
