At the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center, we subscribe to the following principles:
Science is real. Discovery and application of new knowledge is the path to improve the lives of people with diabetes.
Training the next generation of scientists is fundamental to what we do. The DRTC enhances training programs for graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows.
Science needs collaboration across disciplines and institutions. More than half of the scientific publications by DRTC investigators have two or more Vanderbilt scientists as authors. The DRTC is working with other institutions and Centers to advance discovery and to communicate scientific information to other researchers and to society.
