Mission Statement

The Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center (MDRTC) is a multidisciplinary unit of The University of Michigan Health System. It has been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1977 and is one of five such centers in the United States.

The MDRTC exists to meet the needs of investigators and thereby support and strengthen the University's interdepartmental activities in research, training and outreach in the field of diabetes, its complications and related endocrinology and metabolism disorders. The resources provided by the MDRTC have expanded and enriched the base of investigators involved in diabetes research — our most important resource — and have orchestrated innovative multidisciplinary programs throughout its existence.
