Diabetes

Revealing new knowledge of beta cell function and insulin action to improve human health

​

Goals:

  1. To identify the molecular mechanisms underpinning beta cell destruction and function.

  2. To establish the molecular mechanisms underpinning insulin action and how these mechanisms are dysregulated in physiological and pathological contexts (eg diabetes, obesity and ageing).

  3. To leverage this knowledge for improved strategies to prevent and treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, cardiometabolic diseases and other chronic, age-related morbidities.
