Research project funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to identify genetic factors influencing Type 2 Diabetes, using genomic and cell biology approaches for clinical translation.
Description
This project aims to identify genetic variants, genes, and mechanisms influencing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) risk and variability in related traits. It builds on a collaboration between researchers in the US and Finland, utilizing GWAS and meta-analyses across diverse cohorts. The study will explore cell-type specific mechanisms using skeletal muscle data and iPSC-derived beta cells, aiming to translate genetic findings into clinical insights for prevention and treatment.
