Funded Activity Summary

This project seeks new knowledge about (i) a protein on pancreatic cells that can be stimulated to treat problems associated with type 2 diabetes, and (ii) how to create small molecules that can act on this protein and afford a better treatment for diabetes. Advantages of such a new treatment will be low cost, easy administration as an oral tablet rather than injection, need for minimal supervision and monitoring by medical professionals, and therefore more accessibility to global populations.
