Center for Diabetes and Metabolism Research Investigators
|
The Metabolic Regulation Working Group fosters novel approaches and collaborations to address problems in an integrated and multidisciplinary manner. Coordination with clinical services such as the Obesity-Diabetes Center and individual clinicians dealing with patients affected by these conditions provides intellectual stimulation and lays the foundation for translational research to rapidly put ideas to practice.
