Current research:
My research focuses on exploring novel growth factors that can be used to expand or preserve the islet beta cells, which make the key hormone insulin, against onset of diabetes mellitus. Our current focus is on a family of proteins normally produced in the pancreas, some of which have been shown to be effective in rodent models of the disease.
