Episode description
When we talk precision medicine on Mendelspod, we’re usually talking about oncology. But today we shift our focus to diabetes.
Raghu Mirmira is an MD PhD at Indiana University who is working on a panel of biomarkers that would predict Type 1 diabetes. That’s right. Predict.
Having already found a DNA biomarker candidate which detects dying beta cells using the new technology of digital PCR, Raghu is now working to improve the panel with other metabolites.
