Summary of Work:

I study beta-cell decline in early diabetes. I showed that circulating levels of cytokines caused by obesity are sufficient to trigger beta-cell failure in diabetes-prone mice. We are also develop novel dual-action compounds that stimulate insulin secretion and block immune-mediated beta-cell death.
