Funded Activity Summary

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is threatening the health of this nation and if unchecked will cripple our health care system. There are several problems: (1) The incidence of T2D is growing and we do not fully know why; (2) T2D involves defective insulin action but how insulin works normally is still unclear; (3) much research in this area is performed in laboratory cells or animals and the translation of this research to the human disease is yet to be fully realised; and (4) current therapies and diagnostic markers for early disease prediction are inadequate. Our goal is to make progress in each of these areas.
