Kathleen Mulligan, PhD

I study the nutritional and metabolic effects of chronic conditions including HIV infection and its therapies, obesity, fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes, with a focus on body composition, glucose and lipid metabolism, endocrine function, and bone metabolism; and a strong emphasis on treatments and mechanisms. My research has ranged from leading intense inpatient metabolic ward studies to chairing multicenter trials through consortia such as the adult and pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Groups and Adolescent Trials Network.
