Exploration of miRNAs as molecular hubs of β cell dysfunction during the evolution of type 1 diabetes in field
Furthermore, the lab is part of another collaborative project funded by the Helmsley Charitable Trust and supported by the INNODIA consortium. In this project, they are collaborating with Dr. Alberto Pugliese (Arthur Riggs Diabetes & Metabolism Research Institute), Dr. Shari Messinger (University of Miami), and Drs. Guido Sebastiani and Francesco Dotta (Umberto di MarioResearch Foundation). Together, they are working on the development and validation of portable assays designed to measure key plasma miRNA biomarkers for the early detection of T1D risk.
