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, housed at Drexel University, and the University of Missouri, Columbia. We work to support a national network of investigators conducting cutting-edge research on the root causes of diabetes inequities.
My big research goal is to reduce the severity of the barriers such as unmet social needs have on diabetes and self-management among marginalized populations.
The biggest question is how can we effectively and holistically improve diabetes self-management and remove those tradeoffs that competing social needs create.
