Dr Bajpeyi currently serves as the Director of the Metabolic Nutrition and Exercise Research (MiNER) Laboratory. The work in the MiNER Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Bajpeyi focuses on gaining a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms relevant to metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to improve our understanding of the effects of diet and physical activity on obesity and type 2 diabetes. Alongside conducting human clinical intervention, Dr. Bajpeyi's lab also studies the interactions between insulin signaling, intramyocellular lipid (IMCL), lipid droplet associated proteins, and mitochondrial bioenergetics in human skeletal muscle.
