Clinical Interests
All aspects of pediatric diabetes: type 1 and 2 diabetes in children; rare forms of diabetes in youth.
Research Interests:
- Molecular interactions between lipid metabolism and insulin action
- Fetal diabetic programming
- Bioinformatics directed at diabetes research
Model System
- Physiological: We have created a novel model of diabetes in pregnancy in order to study fetal diabetic programming.
- Cellular: We are exploring the interactions between sugar and fat metabolism using molecular manipulations that affect lipid handling and/or insulin signaling.
- Transgenic: We utilize tissue-specific models conferring diabetes protection or risk.
- Computational: We have developed analytic approaches to understand gene transcription aberrations in diabetes.
