Islet Biology Workshop 2018 - Diabetes researchers from around the world share their research during the poster presentation session at the first annual Islet Biology Workshop at Vanderbilt University.
Ashley Williams - The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically in recent years due to excess dietary fat and sedentary lifestyles. The aims of my dissertation are designed to determine the role of the ECM in diet induced hepatic insulin resistance.
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.
