Clinical Interests:

• cell biology of the pancreas, with a focus is on diabetes mellitus

Research Interests:

• induction of islet cell neogenesis using differentiation factors, e.g. INGAP peptide
• identification and characterization of adult pancreatic stem cells
• nuclear reprogramming, transdifferentiation and cell plasticity
• islet cell apoptosis
• islet cell transplantation

We are interested in structure-function relationships and our studies seek to correlate in-vitro and in-vivo morphological and functional observations with signal transduction and transcriptional events.
