Research Focus
Dr. Michal Laniado Schwartzman's lab at New York Medical College studies the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The research focuses on understanding how a specific receptor, GPR75, interacts with a lipid mediator called 20-HETE to influence metabolic health. This work aims to uncover mechanisms that may lead to new treatments for obesity-related health issues.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
