Research
The Division’s main research activities are currently in clinical and translational research. Current areas of investigation include pathogenesis and prevention of type 2 diabetes; novel approaches to treatment of obesity; brain regulation of appetite and food intake; trans-generational effects of maternal diabetes; HDL function and atherosclerosis; clinical and community approaches to diabetes prevention and treatment; understanding the natural history of type 1 diabetes; studying the use of new treatments and technologies for the treatment of type 1 diabetes; and management of thyroid neoplasms.
