Dr. Brady has extensive experience working with adipocyte cell lines and primary adipocytes, including from mouse, rat and human and the contribution of obesity of metabolic diseases and their complications. The lab is currently funded by NIH on a collabortive project to study the role of chronic social isolation in mammary gland development, tumor initiation and development in the spontaneous Sprague Dawley rat model. Dr Brady also serves as Chair of the PhD granting Committee on Molecular Metabolism and Nutrition (CMMN) and co-PI on the NIDDK funded T32 Interdisciplinary Molecular Metabolism Training Program. Finally, Dr. Brady is the co-Director of the Cell Biology Core supported by the UChicago Diabetes Research and Training Center. In this capacity, the Brady lab provides assistance to researchers throughout the greater Chicagoland area and the country, to assist in assay development, adipose tissue analysis and determination of insulin sensitivity and gene expression, using cell lines, primary rodent and/or human samples.
