About the Speaker
Dr. Sarzynski is an Assistant Professor with the Human Genomics Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Dr. Sarzynski's research deals with the genetics of adaptation to lifestyle interventions, particularly the response of lipid and lipoprotein-related traits to regular exercise. He is currently supported by NIH funding from the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Centers (LA CaTS) programs, where his research employs an integrated genomic, biological, and behavioral approach to study gene-environment interactions and lipids and lipoproteins. Dr. Sarzynski recently received the Scott Grundy Fellowship Award for Excellence in Metabolism Research from the American Heart Association's Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health for his work.
