CAROLINE WEE LAB
Neuromodulatory Control of Appetite and Food Choice
We leverage the larval zebrafish model to gain a holistic understanding of the networks of
genes, microbes, molecules, and neurons
linking dietary intake and other environmental factors to appetite and food decision-making.
We aim to generate new scientific knowledge that will address societal challenges
and advance human health and well-being.
We are located at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR), Singapore
in the Division of Neurometabolism in Health and Diseases.
