Meet Dr. Blake Wilson, a postdoctoral fellow at NIDDK studying protein structure-function relationships. He was inspired by his childhood to pursue scientific research. "My parents were members of the foreign service, and their careers took our family all over the world. I grew up moving every few years, with the Washington, D.C. area serving as our home base. At a young age I saw how access to basic services like clean water, reliable electricity, and health care was massively unequal across the world."

An NIDDK-supported meeting of international diabetes experts calls out the need for understanding diabetes heterogeneity as a key step to applying precision medicine. To achieve the goal of precision medicine, an individual’s genes, lifestyle, and environment must be considered to deliver the most appropriate intervention for prevention and management. Detailing the subtypes of type 1 and type 2 diabetes may inform precise approaches to prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. https://lnkd.in/eYzP-_Er American Diabetes Association European Association for the Study of Diabetes e.V.
