HART-BEAT: Diabetes Research from the Bench to Real World Practice
Role
Chief Investigator
Description
The HART-BEAT (Health practitioners And Researchers Together-Blood, Endothelium And Tissue) research group forms an alliance between laboratory based researchers, health practitioners and their patients within one research group to tackle the issues of diabetes and it’s associated complications. Individuals with diabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, impaired wound healing, mental health issues or catching a secondary pathogenic infection with the risk even higher for the Indigenous community. The expected outcome from the HART-BEAT studies is a better understanding of the underlying disease mechanism of diabetes and it’s complications and development of more targeted therapies.
