Research
Dr. Bozadjieva Kramer's overall research interests focus on the pancreas-gut-liver axis, understanding the roles enterohepatic and nutrient signaling play in obesity, comorbidities (Type 2 diabetes, MASLD, and MASH) and how these change after rapid weight loss (diet, pharmacological, or surgery-induced weight loss).
