The award funds research to understand cardiovascular disease in type 1 diabetes by studying T cell roles in atherosclerosis and kidney lesions using advanced sequencing techniques, aiming to improve T1D care and therapies.
Description
This project aims to bridge significant gaps in understanding cardiovascular disease (CVD) pathogenesis in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). By integrating state-of-the-art T cell characterization in circulation, atherosclerotic lesions, and the kidney, leveraging the CaRe-T1D biobank and multidisciplinary approaches, the research seeks to offer transformative insights that could revolutionize T1D care and open new therapeutic avenues across the cardio-renal axis.
