Centre for Diabetes

Centre for Diabetes is an Ulster University research centre in Coleraine investigating the molecular mechanisms of diabetes and emerging treatment approaches.

Its research includes pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, insulin secretion, glycation, glucose-regulating peptides and experimental antidiabetic compounds. The group combines molecular biology, cell models, peptide chemistry and metabolic studies.

The centre publishes peer-reviewed research, trains postgraduate scientists and pursues collaborative technology transfer. It is a university research unit, not a separately incorporated company or commercial clinic.
