Sable Systems International is happy to announce that Kathryn E. Wellen, PhD, is the inaugural recipient of The Sable Award for outstanding contributions to the field of metabolic physiology. Dr. Wellen is Associate Professor of Cancer Biology and Principal Investigator of the Wellen Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.

Sable Systems International is proud to announce a new video highlighting the life of John Lighton, company President, and Chief Innovation Officer. Dr. Lighton founded the company in 1987 as a graduate student at the University of California-Los Angeles under the urging of his advisor, the legendary George Bartholomew, one of the world’s leading comparative physiologists. Dr. Lighton merged his passion for electronics with his understanding of metabolism to revolutionize the field of metabolism measurement. Under his leadership, Sable Systems has grown from, literally, his garage into being a global company serving the comparative and biomedical research fields.

Is metabolism set from birth? One lab is studying newborns to find out. The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana — the only lab in the world equipped to measure metabolism in infants — hopes to reveal the origins of obesity. The infant metabolic chamber was designed by Russell Rising (Metabolic consultant, D & S Consulting Services Inc. Manhattan, NY) and uses Sable’s Promethion Room Calorimetry system.
