Mr Weikun Huang

Higher Degree by Research Candidate

Postgraduate Student

Adelaide Medical School

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

Weikun's work focuses on developing organ-on-chip platform for studying the endocrine functions of gut and pancreas and the identification of novel therapeutic targets for type 2 diabetes (T2D). He is also interested in understanding the role of bitter taste signalling in mediating gut and pancreatic hormone secretion in health and T2D.
