Accelerated Telomere Length Attrition Rate in Diabetes and Its Cellular Mechanism

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

I am a PhD in Medicine-University of Sydney. My research focus is about telomere dynamic, its mechanism and correlation between telomere length and diabetes attributes. I will compare telomere length between different diabetes groups & examine telomere regulation in cell culture/animal model to compliment my clinical data. The hypothesis: accelerated telomere shortening may co-segregate with diabetes complications and by preserving telomere we could potentially prevent adverse effect of diabetes
