The Laboratory of Dr. David E. Cohen forms part of the the Karsh Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Cedars-Sinai.

Our research centers on the mechanisms whereby hydrophobic lipid molecules regulate nutrient metabolism and energy homeostasis. We seek to identify new molecular targets that could be leveraged in the management of obesity and its common metabolic complications, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes.
