Dr Carel le Roux leads the clinical obesity program at the Imperial Weight Centre. The clinical service focuses on Lifestyle, Pharmacotherapy and Surgery as treatment options for patients with weight related medical co-morbidities. The research program has four major themes:

1. Changes in taste after weight loss

2. Changes in energy expenditure after weight loss

3. The role of bile metabolism after bariatric surgery

4. Clinical randomised controlled trials for weight loss

 The Imperial Weight Centre has several opportunities for research and clinical fellowships for physicians, surgeons and professionals allied to medicine.
