Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Karin Jandeleit-Dahm (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Judy De Haan ,  Dr Kirstin Wingler ,  Prof Harald Schmidt

Brief description These studies will investigate the role of oxidative stress and enzymes involved in oxidative stress production in diabetes associated blood vessel injury and kidney damage, leading to heart attacks, stroke and kidney failure. We will use unique knockout animal models and novel drug treatments. Ultimately, we aim to develop novel treatments to better treat and prevent diabetes related complications.
