Fostering the next generation of diabetes research to achieve health equity.

The WU-CDTR is a collaboration between Washington University in St. Louis, the Council on Black Health, and the University of Missouri. We work to support a national network of investigators conducting cutting-edge research on the root causes of diabetes inequities.

 I am truly fortunate to have access to such a fantastic resource that is so enthusiastic about diabetes research and supportive of early career investigators.
