Dr. Nelson’s background is in genomic analysis of microbial organisms. He spent 10 years at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), first as a data analyst and then as the team lead for Microbial Annotation. He was involved in some of the earliest bacterial genome sequencing projects, including...

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...
