Dr. Badeau’s research interest is in human cardiometabolic disease pathogenesis. He has years of real-world clinical experience using medical imaging technologies, including positron emission tomography and computed tomography, and also is a pioneer in high-throughput metabolomic technologies. He is on the forefront of modern obesity research by working in collaboration to develop therapeutic interventions to ameliorate insulin resistance severity and related comorbidities in morbidly obese individuals. He serves as an active member of the American Heart Association on the Council of Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health and also with the American Diabetes Association. He has won several awards and honors related to his scholarly pursuits.
Before coming to Indiana Tech, Dr. Badeau served at a New England university as a coordinator in a thriving undergraduate BS Health Science Program. During his teaching career, he has developed innovative curricula; secured several high-quality internships to external sites, including with a Fortune 500 company; advised and help place graduating students into full-time careers at metropolitan hospitals and in US Army-related occupations; led effective and successful community outreach initiatives; advised athletic programs; served on undergraduate and graduate advisory committees; and has received highly positive and above average teaching and course evaluations. He was recruited to lead Indiana Tech’s modern and important Health Science Program.
