Diabetes and obesity are two of the most common public health problems. They're also among the costliest. People with these conditions experience significant health concerns, and the number of people affected in the U.S. continues to rise.
To better understand these conditions and their associated health risks, Wake Forest University School of Medicine has made diabetes, obesity and metabolism one of its research priorities. The CDOM receives institutional support, and research award recipients are determined by a faculty peer-reviewed application process.
