Vision for the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center Type 1 DM and Beta Cell Biology Program Insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas are damaged in type 1 diabetes by autoimmunity and in type 2 diabetes by hyperglycemia, fatty acids, and oxidative stress. Preservation and/or improvement in islet cell function are cornerstones of therapy for both types of diabetes. New approaches to protect, improve function, and increase the number of healthy beta cells are urgently needed. Our response to this urgent need is to expand the current strengths of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center (DMRC) and become a worldwide leader in type 1 diabetes and beta-cell research. This effort is coordinated with the medical center’s Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism and the Diabetes Multidisciplinary Center of Excellence (DMCE), which has a robust clinical trials unit, and provides comprehensive diabetes care employing the latest technological and pharmacological advances to a large patient population. The bold vision for this new Type 1 DM and Beta Cell Program is to be a transformative, highly integrated resource that brings together cutting-edge research that engages with exceptional clinical resources and trainees to bring the best evidence-based care to our patients.   About Columbus: The Ohio State University campus is located in Columbus, the capital city of Ohio.

Assist in other laboratory and research functions. Pancreatic islets are highly specialized mini-organs that regulate blood glucose by secreting insulin, glucagon, and other hormones in response to physiologic stimuli such as glucose. A deficiency or a dysfunction of the insulin-producing b cells of the islet is critical to the development of all forms of diabetes. The Powers & Brissova group is working to understand and reverse b cell and islet abnormalities and dysfunction in diabetes. In our projects, we are studying the pathogenesis of human diabetes by conducting, translating, and integrating studies about the human pancreas and islet biology. Our research team of scientists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, medical students, undergraduate students, and research assistants has interdisciplinary collaborations with vascular biologists, developmental biologists, biomedical engineers, chemists, and bioinformaticians at Vanderbilt and around the world. We are part of the NIH-funded Human Islet Research Network (HIRN). More information is available at our website. https://www.powersbrissovaresearch.org/ Department Summary: The Division has over 20 faculty and over 50 staff members, who participate in a wide-range of clinical programs and clinical and basic science research.
