Research
Research at the University of Florida Diabetes Center of Excellence takes place in our Clinical Research Center. There are many clinical trials and studies in diabetes currently being conducted including studies for family members, people with established type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and studies for people with newly diagnosed diabetes. For a full list of trials, visit the “Find a Diabetes Research Study” page.
Because the diabetes disease process is still being characterized, the UF team of internationally recognized researchers is committed to uncovering and understanding the mechanism of diabetes, so that new therapies can be designed to combat the development of this disease.
The collaboration of clinicians and researchers, together with health professionals, forges a unique program of diabetes research, treatment, and education at the University of Florida.
