Professor Stephen O'Rahilly FRS FMedSci![]() University positionHead of Department Professor Stephen O'Rahilly FRS FMedSci is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsDepartment of Clinical Biochemistry InstitutesInstitute of Metabolic Science Home pagehttp://www.mrl.ims.cam.ac.uk/researc... (personal home page) Research ThemesInterestsMy research has been concerned with the elucidation of the basic causes of obesity and Type 2 diabetes at a molecular level and the translation of those discoveries into improved diagnosis and therapy for patients. My work has uncovered several previously unrecognised genetic causes of these diseases including some that are amenable to specific treatment. Research Focus
