Research
Learn how we’ve been at the forefront of discovery, and committed to preventing and curing diabetes worldwide.
Since its founding in 1898, the mission of the Joslin Diabetes Center has been to improve the lives of patients with diabetes through research, clinical care, and education to find new treatments, improve care and prevent disease in those at risk. Over the past 35 years, this research at Joslin has been supported by NIH/NIDDK through a Diabetes Research Center (DRC) Program Grant led by Jean Schaffer, MD.
When it comes to diabetes, Joslin is a research powerhouse. Our NIH/NIDDK funded cores and programs keep our research initiatives moving forward.
The purpose of the Animal Physiology Core is to provide technically advanced physiological evaluation of metabolism in diabetes, obesity, and the associated complications in rodents for Joslin Diabetes Research Center investigators and outside users.
The Joslin Clinical Translational Research Center offers a safe, comfortable, and effective environment to conduct outpatient clinical research studies.
The Joslin Flow Cytometry Core provides reliable and affordable cell sorting and flow cytometry services to its users so that they can isolate, analyze, and study cells that increase our understanding of diabetes and its complications, and ultimately, develop treatments and cures for these diseases.
The objective of the Molecular Phenotyping and Genotyping Core is to support Joslin and external investigators in the study of molecular mechanisms of disease by providing equipment, expertise, and services in molecular phenotyping.
