IDOM Units and Programs

The leadership of the IDOM embraces a disease-oriented approach that focuses on the IDOM Units and Programs:

• Type 1 Diabetes Unit
• Type 2 Diabetes Unit
• Obesity Unit
• Complications Unit
• Cardiovascular Metabolism Program
• Diabetic Nephropathy Program
• Translational Research Program

IDOM enhances and supports research aimed at understanding the genetic, biochemical, molecular, environmental, and behavioral mechanisms underlying diabetes and obesity. IDOM initiatives include critical and unique scientific core facilities, and pilot grants that support new investigators as well as interdisciplinary science involving investigators from Penn Medicine and throughout the University of Pennsylvania that are relevant to the IDOM mission. IDOM also fosters education by organizing a series of seminars, workshops, and symposia. We are proud of the many outstanding discoveries made by IDOM investigators, and are committed to the translation of this new knowledge into novel approaches to patient care. We are also grateful for philanthropy in support of our mission
