Research summary

Farooq Syed studies how insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become stressed and die, which is central to type 1 diabetes. The research combines molecular biology (including small regulatory molecules called microRNAs and cellular stress pathways), proteomics, and advanced imaging to find biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets that could protect beta cells from inflammation-driven damage.
