Diabetes
Washington State University is building programs on the social science and science of diabetes. The faculty highlighted here provide insight into ongoing research focused on ways to communicate across cultural boundaries about the causes of and risks of diabetes, to test hypotheses about advertising products and lifestyles that will lead to fewer instances of diabetes, and to better understand the fundamental science that underlies diabetes and its eventual cure. Each of these scientists and their many collaborators, both at WSU and the health care organizations in the region, will significantly impact this important area.
