Artificial Pancreas - Yogish C. Kudva

Overview

The goals of the clinical research laboratory of Drs. Kudva and Basu are to study, define, understand and develop physiological models of integrative physiology related to the insulin-glucose system in humans with type 1 diabetes.

A better understanding of the insulin-glucose system as it relates to meals and physical activity — among other behavioral, biological and occupational phenomena (such as menstrual cycles, pregnancy, sleep, shift work, and so on) — will help inform, develop, refine and validate personalized, state-of-the-art artificial pancreas systems to improve the quality of life in individuals with type 1 diabetes. The lab aims to improve existing methods and develop innovative techniques to measure physiological parameters related to these variables.
