NIDDK Symposium - NIDDK Visiting Professors Arshiya Baig, MD, MPH, FACP and Rochelle Naylor, MD participate in a Q&A session with first- and second-year medical students from around the country at the annual NIDDK Medical Student Research Symposium held at Vanderbilt University.
Gannon Lab - We study genes that control the formation of beta cells in the embryo and also genes that regulate the increase in beta cell number in response to environmental cues such as pregnancy and increased weight gain.
Team Vanderbilt 2017 - We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who rode and/or raised money for this year’s ADA Tour de Cure & Team Vanderbilt.
About the DRTC
is a NIH-sponsored Diabetes Center that facilitates the discovery, application, and translation of scientific knowledge to improve the lives of people with diabetes.
The Molecular Endocrinology Training Program (METP) at Vanderbilt University, led by Richard O’Brien, PhD, Maureen Gannon, PhD, Owen McGuinness, PhD and Brian Wadzinski, PhD, has been awarded their 5-year competitive renewal training grant to fund the program. The goal of the METP is to provide resources for training researchers in molecular endocrinology, and provide support for research labs working in areas such as signal transduction, the regulation of gene expression, beta-cell development, and metabolic regulation. This program has been supported by this training grant for 31 years.
and it cores provide services to investigators
with externally funded, diabetes-related
translational research.
