Hodson Group: Cellular Metabolism and GPCR Signalling

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

We investigate how cellular metabolism and GPCR signaling converge to influence energy homeostasis in the periphery and brain during health and metabolic disease. We develop novel tools and technologies that allow us to study cell and tissue function with exquisite accuracy and detail, and apply these approaches to both preclinical models and human tissue.

Adler Group: Diabetes Trials Unit

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

The Diabetes Trials Unit (DTU) is a fully registered UKCRC Clinical Trials Unit, specialising in performing national and multinational clinical trials related to diabetes.

Ramracheya Group: Pancreatic Islet and Gut Hormones in Health, Diabetes and Metabolic Surgery

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

Our goal is to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which gut hormones, namely GLP-1 and PYY, improve glucose-mediated insulin and glucagon secretion in pancreatic islets. Dysfunction of both secretory processes contributes to the onset of type 2 diabetes and represents the target of effective diabetes intervention.

Rorsman Group

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

We study cellular physiology of pancreatic islets – the small organs that regulate the whole-body sugar levels. Our work will help to find new treatments for diabetes – a disease that is characterised by uncontrolled blood sugar.

Gloyn Group: Functional Genomics of Type 2 diabetes

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

Our mission is to improve understanding of pancreatic islet cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes using human genetics as a tool to uncover causal disease mechanisms and shed light on potential targets for therapeutic development.

Thakker Group: Academic Endocrine Unit

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

We investigate the genetic, molecular and physiological basis of endocrine disorders that affect calcium homeostasis, and endocrine tumour development. By identifying and understanding the underlying mechanisms, we aim to establish better diagnostic methods and develop novel targeted therapies for these disorders to improve patient care.

Karpe, Hodson and Christodoulides Group: Metabolic Research Group

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

We apply an integrated approach to human metabolic disease which involves genetic, genomic, cell biology and whole body metabolic studies to understand the pathogenesis of the complications of obesity such as fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Tomlinson Group: Metabolism and Steroid Hormone Biology

Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

We work to understand how hormones regulate metabolic health in liver, fat and skeletal muscle. Our research has helped to define the role of ‘pre-receptor’ hormone metabolism in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease and has contributed to the development of novel interventions with the ultimate aim of improving patient care.
