My
research will combine genetics, genomics, and
pathophysiology to discover new links between
genes and human disease. Diabetes is a disease
that stems from an endocrine dysfunction to
encompass infectious disease, neurology, nephrology
and cardiovascular medicine, etc. Additionally,
diabetes prevalence and incidence is growing
at epidemic rates in the US, due to our unique
version of malnutrition: hypernutrition. Diabetes
affects a patient population of wide age discrepancy
from adolescents to senior citizens. The Attie
lab studies diabetes on cellular, molecular,
genetic and genomic levels. We are searching
to identify novel genes and proteins involved
in islet and beta-cell biology.
