Final Report Summary - MIRT2DM (The role of microRNAs in pancreatic islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus)
Currently, Janine Kruit continues her research into the role of microRNAs in beta-cell dysfunction as an assistant professor at the department of Paediatrics at the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands. Using the Marie Curie reintegration grant, she was able to set up the AAV8-mediated gene therapy to target beta-cells in vivo. The established fully functional core facility can design and produce AAV vectors to be used to study biological processes related to metabolic diseases in vivo in mice.
