The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is a large consortia with many research projects focused on understanding how beta cells are lost in type 1 diabetics (T1D) with a goal of finding how to protect against or replace the loss of functional beta cells. The consortia has multiple branches of...

Machine learning is a core technology that is rapidly advancing within type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) grant is studying early cellular response initiating β cell stress in T1D through the generation of heterogenous low- and high-throughput molecular...

The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study is searching for factors influencing the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. Research has shown that there are certain genes that correlate to higher risk of developing T1D, but not all children with these genes...

The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) seeks to find environmental factors that can trigger the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. DAISY follows children with high-risk of developing T1D based on family history or genetic markers. Genes, diets, infections, and...

Biography Young-Mo Kim is a senior bioanalytical chemist at PNNL. He received his PhD from Pohang University of Science and Technology in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, studying analysis of metabolites during the bacterial and fungal degradation of xenobiotic substrates using...

Bruker Daltonics SolariX Magnetic Resonance Mass Spectrometry (MRMS) instruments are available for different magnetic field strengths of 7T, 12T and 15T. The SolariX XR and 2xR instruments use magnetron control technology and a newly developed, high sensitivity, low noise preamplifier to exploit...

The Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC hybrid quadrupole Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer provides an unmatched combination of sensitivity, mass-accuracy and resolving power in a single analysis for the highest confidence in compound discovery, identification, and quantitation. With best-in-class...

Inclusion levels of alternative splicing (AS) events of five different varieties (i.e. skipped exon (SE), retained intron (RI), alternative 5’ splice site (A5SS), alternative 3’ splice site (A3SS), and mutually exclusive exons (MXE)) were measured in human blood samples from two separate cohorts of...

A total of 172 children from the DAISY study with multiple plasma samples collected over time, with up to 23 years of follow-up, were characterized via proteomics analysis. Of the children there were 40 controls and 132 cases. All 132 cases had measurements across time relative to IA. Sampling was...
