His research has directly led to several breakthroughs in the understanding of the complex hormonal signals and neurodevelopmental substrates responsible for appetite regulation. Most notably, he discovered that metabolic hormones (such as leptin and ghrelin) play a crucial role in hypothalamicdevelopmentandinthenutritionalprogrammingofmetabolism.
