Diabetes Research Center

华盛顿大学糖尿病研究中心已经存在了40多年，是 由NIDDK支持的国家计划。它是糖尿病研究的焦点和保护伞。 大西雅图地区，目标是促进糖尿病、肥胖症的合作研究环境 通过(1)通过其生物医学研究中心向附属调查人员提供支持； (2)开展试点和可行性计划，为糖尿病新研究人员提供赠款支持 研究和其他学科的现有研究人员；(3)赞助互动丰富 计划包括讲座、务虚会和座谈会，向社会人士介绍 (4)通过提供博士后和研究生，确保青年研究人员的发展 为其生物医学研究核心的工资支持和培训提供奖学金；以及(5)开发新的研究 基于其调查人员不断变化的需求的方法和技术。为了实现这一目标， 该中心围绕五个生物医学研究中心(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)和管理试点和可行性计划的管理核心，以及 浓缩计划。与华盛顿大学和其他西雅图大学的承诺一起 机构的研究空间和额外的资金支持，糖尿病研究中心是一个充满活力和 不断发展的中心，支持99名西雅图的附属调查人员，他们正在做出重要的 在(1)2型糖尿病的病理生理学、预防和治疗方面的科学贡献；(2) 体重和葡萄糖代谢的中枢调节；(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.
