Expertise
(i) glucose sensing system in alpha- and beta cells, (ii) transcription factors that support the phenotype of beta cells and control reprogramming of non-beta cells of the endocrine pancreas, (iii) development of experimental models to study beta cell neogenesis by differentiation from stem/progenitor cells and by proliferation of preexisting and newly formed beta cells.
