Diabetes Research Center

华盛顿大学的糖尿病研究中心已经存在了四十多年， 由NIDDK支持的国家计划。它是美国糖尿病研究的焦点和保护伞。 大西雅图地区的目标是促进环境的合作研究糖尿病，肥胖 通过（1）通过其生物医学研究核心向附属研究者提供支持; (2)开展试点和可行性计划，为糖尿病新研究者提供资助 研究和其他学科的既定研究人员;（3）赞助互动丰富 该计划包括讲座，务虚会和研讨会，以告知社区的最新发展， （4）通过提供博士后和研究生，确保年轻研究人员的发展 研究金，以提供薪金支持和生物医学研究核心的培训;以及（5）开发新的研究 方法和技术的基础上不断变化的需要，其调查。为了实现这一目标， 中心围绕五个生物医学研究核心（细胞功能分析核心，细胞和 分子成像核心，人类研究核心，定量和功能蛋白质组学核心，载体和 转基因小鼠核心）和一个管理核心，也管理试点和可行性计划， 丰富计划。沿着华盛顿大学和其他西雅图大学的承诺 研究空间和额外的财政支持机构，糖尿病研究中心是一个充满活力， 不断发展的中心，支持99个总部设在西雅图的附属调查员，他们正在使重要的 在以下领域的科学贡献：（1）病理生理学，2型糖尿病的预防和治疗;（2） 体重和糖代谢的中枢调节;（3）糖尿病并发症;（4）病因， 1型糖尿病的发病机制和治疗;（5）临床试验和大规模流行病学研究。

The Diabetes Research Center at the University of Washington has existed for over four decades and is part of the national program supported by NIDDK. It acts as the focal point and umbrella for diabetes research in the Greater Seattle area with the goal of promoting an environment of collaborative research on diabetes, obesity and related disorders by (1) Providing support to affiliate investigators through its biomedical research cores; (2) Conducting a pilot and feasibility program that provides grant support for new investigators in diabetes research and to established investigators in other disciplines; (3) Sponsoring an interactive enrichment program comprising lectures, retreats and symposia to inform the community of the latest developments in the area; (4) Ensuring the development of young investigators by providing postdoctoral and graduate student fellowships for salary support and training in its biomedical research cores; and (5) Developing new research methods and technologies based on the evolving needs of its investigators. To accomplish this goal, the Center is organized around five biomedical research cores (Cell Function Analysis Core, Cellular and Molecular Imaging Core, Human Studies Core, Quantitative and Functional Proteomics Core, and Vector and Transgenic Mouse Core) and an Administrative Core that also manages the Pilot and Feasibility Program and the Enrichment Program. Along with the commitment of the University of Washington and other Seattle institutions of research space and additional financial support, the Diabetes Research Center is a dynamic and constantly evolving center that supports 99 Seattle-based affiliate investigators who are making important scientific contributions in the areas of (1) Pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes; (2) Central regulation of body weight and glucose metabolism; (3) Complications of diabetes; (4) Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of type 1 diabetes; and (5) Clinical trials and large-scale epidemiologic studies.
