Staci A. Weaver conducts biomedical research focused on diabetes and the biology of pancreatic beta-cells, the insulin-producing cells whose failure contributes to the disease. Recent work examines how small regulatory RNA molecules (microRNAs) influence beta-cell stress, mitochondrial (cellular energy) dysfunction, and cell death. Related studies also address molecular mechanisms of gene regulation and cellular stress responses.
