      The long-term goal of my research is to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of diabetes and to utilize this knowledge to develop strategies for diagnosis and therapeutic interventions for treating diabetes. Strategies to cure diabetes include restoring functional beta cell mass by either activation of endogenous regeneration of beta cells or transplantation of islet cells.
