We believe in collaborative research as diverse opinions and expertise will strengthen the outcome. Our current collaborators include:

Go to CalR, a web application for indirect calorimetry analysis. The CalR project: There is a critical lack of standardization for indirect calorimetry experiments to measure body composition ( Corrigan et al eLife 2020, Banks et al Nature Metabolism 2025). Currently, the same dataset can produce...

Male C57Bl/6J mice housed at thermoneutrality were administered the β-adrenergic agonist CL 316,243, and changes in oxygen consumption were continuously measured. ​

The following are examples of experiments that our core team has performed: 1. Thermogenesis: cold temperature challenge 2. Thermogenesis: beta-adrenergic agonist activation of mice housed at thermoneutral temperatures 3. Pharmacologic induction of metabolic rate (T3) 4. Diet-induced obesity 5...

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School The home of CalR This is the website for the Energy Balance Core at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School, a facility designed for the measurement of energy intake, nutritional status, and energy expenditure in experimental mice. This...

In vivo stable isotope tracing with U-¹³C₆ D-mannitol and U-¹³C₆ D-glucose was conducted to enable ¹³CO₂ monitoring in the Promethion indirect calorimeter, with data plotted using CalR for conventional (blue) and commensal-depleted (red) mice (Vieira et al., in press).
