Dr. Templin’s research is focused on understanding the relationship between islet immune responses and beta cell dysfunction and death in the setting of both major forms of diabetes.
The Templin Lab works with in vivo models of islet inflammation and obesity to assess islet morphologic and whole-body metabolic changes that occur with hyperglycemia, as well as with in vitro models to examine novel immune-related beta cell death signaling pathways.
