Research

Our studies encompass most facets of Type 1 diabetes research and include, but are not limited to the following major areas:

  • Organization and performance of clinical trails
  • Recovery and analysis of pancreata and relevant tissues
  • Characterizing the immunologic and genetic abnormalities associated with the disease
  • Utilizing animal models for the disorder, identify therapeutic interventions (prevention and/or reversal) suitable for translation to patients
  • Identifying the role of the environment and its factors in disease development
