Khosrow Adeli PhD, FCACB, DABCC, FAACC

Dr. Adeli has been actively involved in both molecular and clinical laboratory research since 1988 and has published over 500 articles and abstracts to date. His main area of research focuses on understanding the pathophysiology of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Specifically, his laboratory is investigating the neuroendocrine mechanisms regulating intestinal and hepatic lipoprotein overproduction in insulin-resistant states and the role of the gut-brain-liver axis in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. These studies are supported by a CIHR Foundation Grant as well as the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

Dr. Adeli is also active in clinical chemistry research and has been involved in a number of diagnostic test development projects. He is the principal investigator of the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Paediatric Reference Interval Database (CALIPER) project aimed at the establishment of a laboratory reference interval database for biomarkers of pediatric disease. The CALIPER database is now used in hospitals across Canada and around the world to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of children with medical concerns.
