Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes causes ongoing damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems. Our research aims to understand the mechanisms of nervous system damage in diabetes by investigating changes in nervous system function overtime in animal models of pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes. This study specifically aims to utilize indices that can be correlated with measures obtainable in human studies and thereby achieve results with strong clinical relevance and potential for translation.
