Four University of Utah Health projects have received grants designed to activate novel research in the areas of diabetes, obesity, and metabolism. The grants awarded by Driving Out Diabetes, a Larry H. Miller Family Wellness Initiative, and the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center will support investigators in various colleges and departments across U of U Health, including internal medicine, psychology, pathology, and nutrition and integrative physiology.
“We have remarkable scientists at U of U Health who are tackling important issues in diabetes and metabolism,” says Scott Summers, Ph.D
., chair of the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology and co-director for the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center. “The 2021 funded projects demonstrate exceptional research rigor while addressing important clinical needs.”
