Abstract

To understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), investigators in the Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP-T2D) are working to interrogate T2D human pancreatic tissue and islets from clinically phenotyped donors using a range of experimental approaches including single cell analysis, multiplexing technology, cell function, and genetic analysis. Data from these studies will be deposited into the comprehensive, open-access, searchable HPAP database (PANC-DB) to serve the community of scientists interested in understanding human pancreatic and islet biology in T2D. Investigators are working to create, enhance, and leverage partnerships with complementary programs like HPAP-T1D, HIRN, IIDP, nPOD, AMP-T2D, and QUOD. Investigators in this grant are working collaboratively with investigators at the University of Pennsylvania (U01DK123594) to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
