FIU Obesity Research Workgroup

Advancing understanding, prevention and treatment of obesity

Through awareness, education and collaboration within FIU and with partners across Florida, the FIU Obesity Research Workgroup develops innovative, high-impact research that improves health outcomes and reduces disparities related to obesity.

Our vision is to establish FIU as a recognized leader in multidisciplinary obesity research and education through the creation of an Obesity Research Center that promotes cutting-edge translational science, cultivates statewide collaborations and contributes to sustainable solutions for obesity and its related health challenges.
