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...

This project is an interdisciplinary collaboration supported by US DOE Office of Science's Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program. The project addresses a crucial but largely overlooked source of error in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) and other atmosphere...

The PNNL-SERDP database was constructed by PNNL to generate the quantitative infrared spectra of gases associated with biomass burning; the reference data are to allow detection and quantification of such gases via infrared absorption spectroscopy. Candidates for the database were selected based on...

The EyeSea underwater video dataset was assembled for developing algorithms for detecting fish in real world underwater video data. The data were recorded as part of environmental monitoring efforts at three different water power sites.

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...
