The Zechner Lab applies molecular and cell biology techniques to investigate how mammalian cells regulate their phosphate homeostasis and sensing using the ubiquitous phosphate transporter PiT1/SLC20A1 as a model.

Dr. Garg's research focuses on diabetes, insulin resistance, and disorders of adipose tissue.

The focus of Dr. Agarwal's research has been on mechanisms of steroid action with emphases on: 1) structure-activity relationships of ligand-steroid receptor interactions, and 2) steroid metabolism.
