Todd Hagobian, Ph.D.

Research Interests


My research is focused on the pathogenesis of diabetes and obesity. Recently, my research has focused on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (e.g. BPA) on diabetes risk, and interventions to reduce exposure.

Educational Background


Ph.D. Kinesiology 

Current Projects


  • BPA and insulin sensitivity
  • Weight loss intervention to reduce bisphenol exposure
