Science at Work
At Joslin Diabetes Research Center (DRC), our team is on a mission to improve care for patients around the globe - and we're making great headway in doing so. We're bringing new information from the laboratory bench directly to patients' bedsides in an effort to understand exactly what causes diabetes, and how lifestyle and medications can vastly improve quality of life.
Our institution is closely affiliated with Harvard Medical School and includes 14 full-time professors as well as more than 250 researchers in 30 research labs. We provide a facilitating framework for conducting multidisciplinary basic and clinical research and to encourage the scientific development of young investigators.
