Mission Statement

Our mission is to innovate basic, translational, and clincial research in endocrinology and diabetes grounded in the principles of excellence and equity to advance scientific knowledge and improve the lives of all. 

Stanford Diabetes Research Center

The SDRC promotes the teaching and training goals of Stanford University by training the next generation of investigators and leaders of diabetes research and care.

Basic Research

The aim of our basic science program is to elucidate the role of the endocrine system in both health and the development of diseases.  Through this work, we hope to increase our understanding of the important physiological processes that are controlled by hormones and how alterations in hormone levels perturb the body’s homeostasis and cause disease in people.  Our goal is to apply discoveries we make in the laboratory toward the development of novel therapeutics for a variety of illnesses that affect children.
