Using longitudinal cohort methods as well as clinical trials, my research focuses on 1) Early biomarkers of diabetes complications (with a focus on neuropathy and kidney disease) and 2) Interventions for prevention of complications, including automated insulin delivery (‘artificial pancreas’) technologies and disease-modifying adjunctive-to-insulin pharmacotherapies in type 1 diabetes. I am a principal investigator in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) and I co-lead an Innovations in Type 1 Diabetes group within Diabetes Action Canada, a national patient-oriented research strategy.
