Personal Info
- Bio
- Dr. Sarah Turpin-Nolan is currently a Research Fellow in the Cellular and Molecular Metabolism at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS), Monash University. Her research focuses upon the role of ceramides during metabolic disease, namely in the gastrointestinal tract, lymphatic and circulatory transport systems. Previously, Dr Turpin-Nolan discovered that reducing a specific ceramide specie in the liver could prevent diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus during her postdoctoral traiing in Prof. Jens Bruening's Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research. This work led to the development of inhibitors to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dr Sarah Turpin-Nolan completed her PhD in the Biology of Lipid Metabolism Laboratory supervised by Prof. Matthew Watt. Her PhD investigated the Metabolic consequences of lipid-oversupply in key glucoregulatory tissues and was awarded by The University of Melbourne (Dept of Medicine & Health Sciences).
