Collaborations

We collaborate with other laboratories.

Our team developed the Pediatric Diabetes and Obesity Center (PDOC) to being together researchers from different fields (endocrinology, immunology, gastroenterology and bariatric surgery) to understand how obesity and type 2 diabetes develop in teens. Projects include:

1. Inflammatory Vigor in Heterogeneity of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Development, Severity, and Resolution.
2. Role of extracellular vesicles in the regulation of immunometabolism in obesity.

We work closely with the Davidson Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati
