Core Laboratories
Housed within the Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence (D&O) are several Core Laboratories that support research activities of investigators interested in diabetes and obesity both within and outside of our Center. Support for these core laboratories is provided primarily in the form of NIH-funded Center grants, including:
The Diabetes Endocrinology Research Center (DERC) (http://depts.washington.edu/diabetes/)
The Clinical Nutrition Research Unit (CNRU)
(http://depts.washington.edu/uwcnru/)
Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center (MMPC)
(http://depts.washington.edu/mmpc/).
Our success in securing these highly sought-after NIH Center grants testifies to the high caliber of diabetes and obesity research performed by D&O investigators and the larger UW Medicine research community.
The Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence has established the following Core Laboratories to serve our research community:
