OverviewAI-generated summary
Iad Alhallak's research focuses on metabolic pathways and their roles in disease, particularly in the context of obesity and cancer. Recent work has investigated the role of malic enzyme 1 (ME1) in promoting adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and the induction of circulating insulin and leptin in obese female mice. Other studies have examined Krüppel-like Factor 9 (KLF9) in suppressing hepatocellular carcinoma-promoting oxidative stress and inflammation in mice fed a high-fat diet, and the impact of metformin on anti-tumor biomarkers in human endometrial cancer cells. Alhallak also contributes to research on HIV, with a publication exploring macrophage infiltration related to noncalcified plaque and systemic immune activation in individuals with HIV. Collaborations include work with Rosalia C. M. Simmen and Frank A. Simmen at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Alhallak has co-authored multiple publications.
