Metabolic Control, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016 Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology Series, Vol. 233

Stephan Herzig obtained his PhD from the University of Göttingen, Germany, in 1999. Supported by the German Research Foundation DFG he then joined the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA, for his postdoctoral training. In 2004, he established an Emmy-Noether and Marie Curie Junior Research Group at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany. He became Head of a Joint Research Division between the DKFZ, Heidelberg University, and Heidelberg University Hospital in 2010, followed by his appointment as a Full W3 Professor at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University. Since 2015, Stephan Herzig is the director of the Institute for Diabetes and Cancer (IDC) at the Helmholtz Center Munich and he holds the chair in Molecular Metabolic Control at the Technical University Munich as well as a Honorary Professorship at the Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University. Stephan Herzig studies the molecular mechanisms of severe metabolic disorders and their complications, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

The book covers a broad range of topics in metabolic research, ranging from key molecular events to therapeutic options in metabolic disorders

This book gives a comprehensive overview over the current state-of-the-art in metabolic regulation and dysfunction

The book provides an update on classical components of metabolic control and also highlights novel and emerging areas in this field in an integrated manner
