Morgan Fullerton is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and co-Director of the Centre for Infection, Immunity and Inflammation. His lab's research is focused on understanding how metabolic pathways underpin and are connected to various aspects of immunity through the lens of both chronic metabolic dysfunction (obesity, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance, MAFLD and atherosclerosis) and acute inflammation (models of infection). The research is supported by grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Diabetes Canada and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC). Morgan has held new investigator awards from CIHR and HSFC and is currently supported by the Camille Villeneuve Chair in Cardiovascular Immunometabolism.
