The Diabetes Stem Cell Program (DSCP) is a multi-institutional collaborative effort whose overarching goal is to unite expertise in stem cell biology with that in developmental biology of pancreatic beta cells, basic and clinical aspects of diabetes, implantation biology, and immunology in a joint scientific endeavor.

Since its inception as the UW Clinical Nutrition Research Unit in 1985, the University of Washington (UW) Nutrition and Obesity Research Center’s (NORC) overarching goal has been to support basic, clinical, and translational research at UW related to nutrition, obesity, and related metabolic disturbances.

The Cardiovascular Complications and Diabetes Program Project (P01HL092969) is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH. The objective of this PPG is to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms of the increased cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes that may be amenable to preventive and therapeutic measures.

The goal of the Diabetes Research Center is to foster and support both basic and clinical research in diabetes and related metabolic disorders with the ultimate purpose of translating findings into opportunities to prevent these diseases and to improve clinical care and outcomes..
