Speaker Bio
Michelle Kimple, Associate Professor of Medicine-Endocrinology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health
Research in the Michelle Kimple lab is focused on how the endocrine cells of the pancreatic islet of Langerhans coordinate to regulate hormone secretion in response to glucose and other stimuli; impacting whole-body fuel metabolism. The Kimple Lab is especially interested in elucidating how G protein signaling networks regulate beta-cell function and their response to insults such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and inflammation. The premise behind research in the Kimple lab is G protein-coupled receptors and their associated ligands, G proteins, and downstream effectors play key roles in early islet cell adaptation and resilience to external stressors, and that certain G protein signaling pathways become dysfunctional in the diabetic state, actively contributing to the pathophysiology of the disease. The long-term goal of the Kimple Lab is to identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent and treat diabetes. Dr. Kimple also lives with bipolar disorder and ADHD and is a passionate advocate for the destigmatization of mental health disorders.
