Immunity and Metabolism of Diabetes

IMMEDIAB stands for immunity and metabolism of diabetes.

We work towards revealing therapeutic potential of immunometabolism in the world’s fastest growing disease, diabetes.

PI: Nicolas VENTECLEF

Objectives

IMMEDIAB wants to establish a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptomic and epigenomic pathways that control monocyte and macrophage function and of the epigenetic enzymes involved in monocyte and macrophage differentiation and activation.

Future Directions

Our key challenges in the upcoming years will be to study epigenetic changes in human diabetes and to better understand how epigenetic pathways control the inflammatory repertoire in diabetic complications.

Diabetes Institute scientific day

Diabetes Institute scientific day

The overall goal of this Diabetes Institute scientific day is to provide the most important and up-to-date research in the field of metabolism made at University Paris Cité. The workshop will focus on understanding the recent progress in adipose tissue and liver biology including metabolic and inflammatory processes in the control of the energy homeostasis. Special emphasis will be done to highlight the importance of the organ crosstalk and how signaling pathways in one tissue could affect the metabolism in other tissue.
