[Lead] Prof James Best [Institution] University of Melbourne [Description] The Centre for Clinical Science in Diabetes will focus on recruiting, training and mentoring students and early career investigators in clinical diabetes research. Studies in patient cohorts will identify novel risk factors for vascular complications of diabetes to enable early preventive treatment. Nutritional and pharmacological intervention studies in Indigenous populations will influence the approach to their diabetes management. Beta cell transplantation studies will guide further development of this experimental therapy to treat type 1 diabetes. Ways of improving translation of research findings into practice will be studied directly in the primary care setting. [CCRE]
