Funded Activity Summary

There is no cure for type 1 diabetes which manifests in children and adolescents resulting in the need for 5 injections of insulin each day. During this scholarship period, we aim to discover new genetic and blood biomarkers for disease onset in children for use in new born and childhood screening. In addition we will determine if specific environmental factors called advanced glycation end products can contribute to type 1 diabetes via interactions with a specific gene, RAGE.
