The Division of Endocrinology participates in a number of research studies at the basic science, clinical and applied levels. Our publication list attests to the breadth of our active research interests. As well, we continue to develop and update educational materials for our patients. Funding for these efforts is derived from governmental and institutional grants, from industry support, and from private donations. These funds can be directed to the project area of the donor's choice.
Members of our division work in close collaboration with scientists from the BC Children's Hospital Research Institute. Our areas of focus include: genetics of type 1 diabetes, islet cell biology and transplantation, viral pathogenesis of diabetes, immunology of type 1 diabetes, and clinical diabetes research.
