Farooqi Lab
@Farooqi_Lab
Professor Sadaf Farooqi’s lab @Cambridge_Uni. We study the fundamental mechanisms controlling human energy homeostasis to identify treatments for obesity.
Read our interview with #biologists100 plenary speaker, Sadaf Farooqi, discussing the fascinating insights from her work on obesity & appetite, her approach to exploring new research, and how these discoveries can ultimately impact patients and society. doi.org/10.1242/dmm.05…
We can't believe it's been a month already since our Biologists @ 100 conference. We were delighted to welcome so many attendees and receive such great feedback, which we are proud to share here. Take a look back at a fun-filled week at biologists.com/stories/a-look… #biologists100
Professor Farooqi and @FRubinoMD spoke with @ScienceMagazine on @TheLancetEndo report on obesity. Is obesity a disease? Not always, new expert report says | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…
Professor Farooqi spoke to the Guardian for their Friday Briefing about @TheLancetEndo report on obesity. theguardian.com/world/2025/jan…
This week, we are also highlighting Sadaf Farooqi as our extraordinary biologist. She is a former Company Director and a plenary speaker at the Biologists @ 100 conference. #100biologists
🆕 A new @TheLancetEndo report redefines obesity, distinguishing ‘pre-clinical’ (at risk) & ‘clinical’ (requiring treatment). This approach aims to provide accurate diagnoses, reduce over-diagnosis, & ensure patients receive the right care. ➡️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… @BBCNews
🌍 A New Approach to Obesity: Moving Beyond BMI The Lancet Commission has called for a groundbreaking shift in diagnosing obesity! While BMI has been useful for population estimates, it’s no longer enough for clinical diagnosis. 🚨 What’s new? BMI will now be combined with…

Over 1 billion people live with #obesity. There is an urgent need for a universal definition & diagnosis. 🆕 A @TheLancetEndo Commission introduces a new model with categories: clinical obesity (an illness) & pre-clinical obesity. This reframing identifies medically meaningful…
Excited to share @Baijie_Xu’s work with @Farooqi_Lab in @ScienceTM (shorturl.at/CQ23Z). Our study uncovers a molecular deficit in patients with monogenic obesity and identifies a potential treatment. @UTSWNews @UTSWInternalMed @UTSWBrain @UTSWNeurosci @UTSWScience 1/
Delighted to share a Perspective published online in Cell today with my wonderful collaborator @DrYongXu1. Topic is translating research from mice to humans in Metabolic Disease.
