Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Iad Alhallak's research focuses on metabolic pathways and their influence on disease development, particularly in the context of obesity and liver disease. Recent work has investigated the role of Malic Enzyme 1 (ME1) in promoting adiposity and hepatic steatosis, and its connection to circulating insulin and leptin levels in obese female mice. Alhallak has also explored the impact of diet on endometriosis development in mice and the regulation of breast adipose tissue. In parallel, his work has examined immune system involvement in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, specifically arterial infiltration by macrophages and its relation to noncalcified plaque and systemic immune activation.

Further investigations have delved into the molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, studying the function of Krüppel-like Factors (KLFs) in suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation in hepatocellular carcinoma. Alhallak's scholarship includes 30 publications with an h-index of 9 and 242 total citations. Key collaborators include Rosalia C. M. Simmen, Frank A. Simmen, Charles M. Quick, and Garrett L. Graham, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
