Cytosine methylation predicts diabetic nephropathy progression [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Over 2 million Australians have diabetes and up to one in three adults will develop diabetes or pre-diabetes in their lifetime with the associated burden of complications. It is not simply genetics, as the genetic variability cannot explain why some individuals and indeed some families appear to be programmed to have an inordinate burden of complications. Over the last decade we have developed state of the art technologies to characterise epigenetic changes in human clinical cohorts.
