# Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism Training Grant

> **NIH NIH T32** · STANFORD UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $36,759

## Abstract

Project Summary
This Training Grant, entering its 41st year, has a multidisciplinary faculty from both basic science
and clinical departments within Stanford University School of Medicine. The training program is
designed to offer postdoctoral trainees a unique and supportive environment in which to learn
innovative approaches to the study of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. The trainees
will pursue research in laboratories where established and cutting edge research programs take
advantage of a spectrum of approaches ranging from molecular, cellular, and animal models to
human subjects. Advanced molecular and genetic and translational techniques as well as
classical clinical protocols and epidemiology are used to develop novel concepts and tools for
the study of the physiology, pathophysiology and treatment of diseases of endocrinology,
diabetes and metabolism. The training faculty includes 15 investigators from 5 Departments:
Medicine, Pediatrics, Developmental Biology, Chemical & Systems Biology, and Neurosurgery
whose interests converge on 4 general endocrine themes. Theme #1 Islet and Beta-cell Biology
includes projects in the labs of: Feldman, Seung Kim, Sun Kim, Wilson, McLaughlin and Annes.
Theme #2 Genetics/Hormone-Dependent Cancer includes projects in the labs of Chua,
Feldman, Hoffman, Kraemer, Annes and Katznelson. Theme #3 Diabetes and Cardiovascular
Risk includes projects in the labs of: Kraemer, Teruel, McLaughlin, Sun Kim, Reaven, Stefanick,
and Wilson. Theme #4 Endocrine Population Health Sciences and Osteoporosis includes the
labs of Wu, Lee, Stefanick, Feldman and Hoffman. Thus trainees have a wide choice of
research projects but within a focus on several major lines of research. This Training Grant has
been the core of the Endocrinology teaching program at Stanford providing support for 4 post-
doctoral trainees, with either the M.D. or Ph.D. degrees. In addition to research training, the
Training Grant, in conjunction with the School of Medicine, provides a rich environment of
seminars, courses and conferences as well as core facilities all fostering a stimulating and
productive training program with major interaction among trainees and mentors. The Training
Grant faculty members are committed to continuing to recruit a diverse group of trainees and to
making a strong effort to enlist trainees from under-represented minorities. Programs in the
ethics of responsible research, grant writing, critical evaluation of the literature as well as many
other courses and seminars enrich the training program. The goal of this Training Grant is to
provide 1-2 years of support to promising postdoctoral scholars who will become the future
leaders in endocrine research in both academia and in biotechnology.
