Michael A. Kalwat studies the biology of pancreatic islet beta cells he cells that regulate blood sugar cand how they respond to stress, injury, and disease processes like type 2 diabetes. A recurring focus is discovering and testing small molecules and drug targets that influence insulin secretion, beta-cell survival, and glucose control, often using high-throughput screening methods. His work aims to understand and eventually correct the cellular problems underlying diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
