Weight Loss Research and Clinical Trials
Researchers at UPMC, a leading academic medical center, continually investigate the correlation between excess weight and various health risks.
Studies about the mechanics of metabolism and the emotional components of eating, have important implications for people who are trying to lose weight.
In addition, as bariatric surgery for weight loss continues to increase in popularity, it's important to understand the long-term effects of these procedures.
Our research studies range from laboratory bench science to clinical outcomes. We are pioneers in many areas of obesity research that directly impacts the health and well-being of the community.
