Suneil Koliwad, MD, PhD

Professor

Dr. Suneil Koliwad is an Expert in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, serving as Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UCSF Health. His lab, based in the UCSF Diabetes Center, focuses on the intersection of nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic tissue function in the context of normal physiology, and diseases such as obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, and in the course of aging. His group strives to link basic mechanisms of metabolic regulation to causality in important clinical contexts, and has developed a highly innovative and deeply curated multiethnic obesity cohort at UCSF to assist in achieving this goal.
