Welcome to the ENGIN Lab
at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Our laboratory is dedicated to uncovering the underlying causes of type 1 diabetes as well as metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes with the ultimate goal of finding preventative and therapeutic regiments for these diseases.
Through studies in cell culture and transgenic mouse model systems, as well as human islets and taking a multi-disciplinary approach combining biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, imaging, single cell -omics technology, bioinformatics, immunology as well as pharmacological tools we aim to elucidate the role of stress responses, aberrant interorganellar, and intercellular communications in the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
