Islet Biology Workshop 2018 - Diabetes researchers from around the world attend the first annual Islet Biology Workshop at Vanderbilt University on September 6th and 7th.
Team Vanderbilt - Participants in the 2017 Tour de Cure bike ride and walk, presented by the American Diabetes Association.
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.
Congratulations - The Oscar Crofford Award is presented to Kristie Aamodt by the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism and the Vanderbilt Diabetes Center to the graduating medical student who has performed outstanding research in the area of diabetes. This award honors Dr. Oscar B. Crofford for his contributions to diabetes research at Vanderbilt and throughout the world. He served as director of Vanderbilt’s Diabetes division and as President of the American Diabetes Association.
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.
