Research Focus
Dr. Jason Bini's research lab at Yale University focuses on understanding type 1 diabetes, particularly how it affects insulin production in the body. The lab uses advanced imaging techniques like PET and MRI to study changes in the pancreas, including how well insulin-producing cells are functioning. By tracking these changes over time, the lab aims to improve treatment strategies for individuals at risk or newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
