Diabetes

Areas of Partnership Interest

• Amelioration of insulin resistance
• Improvement in pancreatic beta cell function/survival
• Non-invasive approaches to measuring islet cell mass/survival
• Identification of patients with high cardiovascular risk (that improves on risk assessment by standard phenotype scores like Framingham and UKPDS scores)
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk factors
• Identification of subjects at higher risk of diabetes disease progression (e.g., accelerated loss of beta cell function)
• Surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity with high correlation to gold standard of euglycemic clamp
• Identification of patients at higher risk of developing diabetic complications
• Surrogate measure of early impact on diabetic complications

Areas of Less Interest

• Continuous monitoring technology (no interest in development)
