人妻中出视频 of Utah Diabetes and Metabolism Center Announces Seed Grant Recipients
The has awarded grants to seven projects designed to advance research and practices to improve outcomes for those impacted by diabetes, metabolic abnormalities, and obesity. This year's recipients come from nine departments at the 人妻中出视频 of Utah School of Medicine, College of Humanities, and College of Science, and draw from a wide variety of related disciplines.
"The grants were designed to catalyze new collaborations in the university community in order to spur innovation in areas that touch upon diabetes and metabolism," says , co-director of the Diabetes and Metabolism Center (DMC) at the 人妻中出视频 of Utah. "We're confident that these efforts will lead to new discoveries, grants, and publications in these research areas."
It's estimated that 29 million Americans have diabetes, putting them at risk for a number of health conditions including blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke. These related disorders contribute to the $176 billion strain that diabetes places on the medical system. And these problems are only being compounded by growth in the rates of Americans who are obese, a leading cause of diabetes.
"The research projects supported by the DMC impact a range of issues that must be addressed if we are going to move the needle on these health conditions," says DMC co-director Simon Fisher, M.D., Ph.D.
Grant recipients will carry out a variety of projects ranging from creating a fast-acting insulin from venom, to investigations into the complications of weight gain on 人妻中出视频bearing, to facilitating conversations about obesity.
Each project received up to $25,000, made possible in part by generous donations from the England Family, Jacobsen Construction, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) "Of Love" tennis tournament fundraiser.
