Dr. Jarrad Scarlett, MD,PhD, has been awarded a 1-year grant through the UW Royalty Research Fund for his project “Mechanisms of central FGF1 remission of diabetic hyperglycemia.” The goal of this project is to begin to elucidate the central and peripheral mechanisms of FGF1 action in the brain to normalize glycemia in rodent models of T2D in a sustained manner, and inform new approaches to diabetes treatment.
