What area of diabetes research does your project cover? What role will this particular project play in preventing, treating and/or curing diabetes? My project focuses on investigating the progression of diabetic kidney disease, aiming to unravel the mechanisms leading to kidney failure. Using advanced tissue imaging modalities, we aim to characterize cellular injury within the kidney and understand the interplay between immune cells and kidney cells, crucial factors influencing kidney tissue vulnerability to disease. By elucidating the pathways associated with kidney failure in various forms
