Recent news
Our Lab investigates the complex molecular landscapes of diabetes, with a specific focus on the mechanisms governing insulin and glucagon secretion. We employ a multidisciplinary approach, integrating high-resolution electrophysiology and advanced live-cell imaging with sophisticated molecular and cellular biological tools. Our research aims to identify novel signaling molecules and decipher how their dysregulation contributes to alpha- and beta-cell dysfunction during the progression from early-stage glucose intolerance to late-stage diabetes.
