Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Research

RESEARCH SUMMARY

Our group also conducts clinical/translational research at outpatient clinics and inpatient service sites within the University of Toledo Health Science Campus (University of Toledo Medical Center, Ruppert Health Center, Dana Cancer Center) and the ProMedica Health Campus (The Toledo Hospital and the Falzone Diabetes Center).  Basic sciences research is conducted at the Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Research (CeDER) at the UToledo Health Science Campus. 

Scientifically, the Division’s research encompasses clinical, translational and basic science areas as described below:

Current Clinical/Translational projects include:

  1. Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adult Database Study (IRB approved)
  2. Anti-Program Cell Death-1 Pathway Blockade and Type 1 Diabetes Development (MEDTRONIC GRANT AWARD) (IRB approved)
  3. Calcitonin Enhanced Localization of Parathyroid Adenomas (IRB approved)
  4. Thyroid Nodule Database Study (IRB approved)
  5. Insulin Antibodies and Insulin Resistance (IRB approved)
  6. Glycemic Control with Digitally Coordinated Care in Type II Diabetic Populations (IRB approved)
  7. Low Dose CT and Adrenal Incidentalomas (IRB approved)
  8. SGLT2 Protracted Glycosuria (IRB pending)
  9. New Onset Diabetes After Transplant (NODAT, IRB pending)
  10. Glycemic variability during enteral nutrition (IRB pending)
  11. Inpatient Steroids and Diabetes Best Practice Alert (IRB pending)
  12. SDOH in Diabetes: Continuous Glucose Monitor Systems in underserved populations (QIP)

Current Basic/Translational projects include:

  1. Characterization of a New Humanized Transgenic Model of Type 1 Diabetes (US Patent filed)
  2. Immunotherapeutic Treatments of Allo and Autoimmunity  (International Patent filed-Business Incubator: AdopTracell®)
