A new research center will be dedicated this weekend at the University of Iowa which promises to be innovative in its goal of finding treatments and a cure for diabetes, an epidemic that afflicts one in every 12 Iowans.
The center’s director, Dr. Dale Abel, says there will be 15 separate labs in the single facility that will all be working independently — yet together.
“It is very broad-based,” Dr. Abel says. “It really runs the spectrum from fundamental science and discovery at the level of molecules and genes and so forth all the way up to studies across populations. So, it really goes, as we say, from bench to bedside and hopefully, back to the bench as well.”
