Clinical Diabetes Research

The objective of our team is to improve the lives of people with diabetes. Our expertise includes:

Clinical studies (phase 1-4) in diabetes technologies (CGM, insulin pump, AID) in type 1 diabetes
Clinical studies (Phase 1-4) of diabetes technologies in type 2 diabetes
Prevention of type 1 diabetes
Prevention of progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes
Epidemiology of diabetes complications
Adjunctive therapies such as GLP-1RA in type 1 diabetes management
Cardiovascular outcomes in type 1 diabetes
Clinical trials of therapeutics for type 1 and type 2 diabetes management
