Principal Investigator

Kathleen McAteer

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

N5,N10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the conversion of N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to N5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This reaction is required for the…

In type 1 diabetes (T1D) research there remains a critical need for having a systems level understanding of the early stage molecular mechanisms that trigger the specific destruction of pancreatic β…

Serum biomarkers for predicting type 1 diabetes

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Weijun Qian

Clinical type 1 diabetes (T1D) is preceded by an asymptomatic phase of the disease, which can be readily identified by serum islet autoantibodies(AAb). However, the T1D field is challenged by the…
