Understanding pancreatic beta cell identity: from genome-wide association to intercellular connectivity
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) presently affects ~1:12 of the adult population and usually involves defective insulin secretion alongside insulin resistance. I will discuss our work seeking to understand how genetic variants in man impact T2D risk and beta cell function using a variety of genetic tools, alongside in vitro and in vivo imaging techniques including optogenetics and photopharmacology. pdf
