Professor Maria Gomez is the coordinator of LUDC-IRC (Lund University Diabetes Centre – Industrial Research Centre), a public-private partnership with the goal to promote precision medicine in diabetes.

LUDC-IRC was established in 2017, with support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) and financial and in kind contributions from industrial partners and Region Skåne. LUDC-IRC focuses on the identification of targetable mechanisms and pathways underlying diabetes and its complications, as well as on the discovery, validation and clinical implementation of prognostic, predictive and safety biomarkers related to diabetes.

Our warmest congratulations to Charlotte Ling who, together with Katarina Fagher and Alice Maguolo, has been awarded a grant of DKK five million from Novo Nordisk Foundation 🎉

🧬 Charlotte Ling, professor of epigenetics and diabetes at Lund University Diabetes Centre, is investigating whether epigenetic biomarkers can be used to predict how well people with type 2 diabetes respond to a common drug. Her team is also studying whether epigenetic markers can predict the risk of common complications in people with type 2 diabetes.

Many studies have been conducted on the population study ANDIS (All New Diabetics in Skåne). The new grant makes it possible to validate findings in a Danish population study called DD2 (The Danish Centre for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes).

Diabetes researchers Charlotte Ling and Lena Eliasson at Lund University Diabetes Centre are part of the committee that organised this year’s European Islet Study Group conference in Malmö on June 11-13 🧫

Over 250 international researchers who study islets of Langerhans participated in the conference – thank you to everyone who joined us in Malmö! 👏

We hope that you found the event enjoyable, and that you connected with many other researchers in the field. We look forward to seeing you at the EISG conference in Barcelona next year!

Lund University Diabetes Centre, LUDC, has the great pleasure of hosting this year’s European Islet Study Group conference in Malmö.

The conference is coming to a close, and it has been three days filled with excellent talks on a wide range of topics related to islet biology in diabetes research.

🌟 We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the speakers, chairs, participants, and the organisers for making this such a successful scientific meeting. We are already looking forward to next year's EISG conference, which will be arranged in Barcelona!

Here are a few highlights from the three-day conference
🔹 Charlotte Ling, professor at LUDC and member of the EISG 2025 steering committee, gave a welcome speech.

🔹 Professor Lori Sussel, University of Colorado, gave a keynote lecture that shed light on the complex gene regulatory processes that underlie the development and maintenance of pancreatic islet cell fates and how islet cell identity is disrupted during disease.

🔹 Professor Klaus H. Kaestner from University of Pennsylvania gave a keynote lecture on lessons learned from the Human Pancreas Analysis Program.

🔹 Lena Eliasson, professor and vice coordinator of LUDC and the strategic research area EXODIAB, presented research on the influence of microRNAs on human islet insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes.

We would like to congratulate Emma Ahlqvist, researcher within genetics and diabetes at Lund University Diabetes Centre, who is awarded a research grant of about SEK two million from Diabetes Wellness! 👏

Research by Emma Ahlqvist has shown that type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes can be classified into five subgroups based on disease progression and the risk of developing common diabetes-related complications.

🧬 Her new research project aims to identify specific genetic variants that increase the risk of developing diabetes-related complications within each group. Emma Ahlqvist hopes that the knowledge can be useful when tailoring the treatment of people with diabetes.
