Research

Dr. Cabrera’s research rests in the successful prediction of type 1 diabetes mellitus through the lens of beta cell dysfunction. By developing prediction tools, Dr. Cabrera hopes to better elucidate the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and also move towards targeted prevention of the disease. Her translational research approach utilizes both the murine model of type 1 diabetes as well as human subjects followed within the TrialNet Natural History Study and McGee Center Family Study. She is very interested in the earliest stages of inflammation and beta cell dysfunction in affected families. Dr. Cabrera hopes to move her research into clinical trials for the prevention of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
