Meet Garron Dodd
A/Prof Dodd is a Neuroscientist with an interest in understanding how the brain controls energy balance and how this underlies metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
He leads the Metabolic Neuroscience Research Group, which is focusing on the role of insulin signalling to the brain and how this becomes defective in metabolic disease.
A/Prof Dodd says this is an especially exciting era to be an active researcher. Never before have biomedical scientists been able to manipulate, image and re-wire neuronal circuits with such autonomy and precision.
Dr Dodd’s findings have been published in some of the most prestigious science journals including Cell, Cell Metabolism and eLife.
Take every opportunity to share and discuss your work and the work of others and don’t be afraid to ask senior colleagues for advice as they have weathered all the highs and lows of science.
