Research Scientists in NYC and Baltimore Awarded Grants to Investigate the Link Between Cardiovascular Health and Diabetes
- The American Heart Association (AHA) awarded grants to two research scientists in NYC and Baltimore to investigate the link between cardiovascular health and diabetes.
- Dr. Ann Marie Schmidt in NYC will study the impact of white blood cells and a protein called RAGE on diabetic conditions, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies.
- Her research may elucidate how diabetes affects multiple body systems, leading to complications like heart attacks and strokes, offering new treatment possibilities.
- Dr. Elizabeth Selvin in Baltimore will focus on continuous glucose monitoring systems to improve diabetes management and cardiometabolic health.
- The research by Selvin could enhance public health policies on diabetes care by providing real-time glucose tracking for better patient outcomes.
- Both scientists emphasize mentoring future researchers and fostering collaborative efforts, reflecting a shift towards interdisciplinary research in health science.
- The AHA's funding supports groundbreaking research to address the increasing prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases globally.
- The research aims to offer practical solutions to mitigate the impacts of diabetes and heart diseases, benefiting vulnerable populations.
- The AHA's investment in research underscores its mission to save lives by translating innovative ideas into actionable health strategies.
- Schmidt and Selvin's work may lead to improved clinical practices and better management of diabetes and cardiovascular conditions in diverse populations.
