Program Host
Stanford Endocrinology, as a selected NIDDK-funded Research Center, hosts The Medical Student Research Program in Diabetes. This program, led by Drs. Justin Annes and David Maahs, allows medical students to conduct research under the direction of an established scientist in the areas of diabetes, hormone action, physiology, islet cell biology or obesity during the first or second summer of medical school. The Program helps students gain an improved understanding of career opportunities in biomedical research and a comprehensive understanding of diabetes, its clinical manifestations and its unsolved problems.
