Independent faculty members are welcome to contact the Center if interested in taking advantage of any of its technology. As part of the process for establishing collaboration, the Center is willing to work on pilot experiments to determine feasibility before proceeding with grant applications.

Following is a list of current collaboration topics:

• Engineered glucose metabolism in insulin-secreting cells
  
  
• Development of novel therapies for NIDDM
  
  
• Measurement of hepatic glucose metabolism in cirrhotic patients using stable isotopes and NMR
  
  
• Molecular Control of Glucose Metabolism
  
  
• Carnitine palmitoyl transferase and fatty acid metabolism
  
  
• Oxidative and anaplerotic flux in normal and metabolically impaired skeletal muscle
  
  
• Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of tumors and surrounding tissue in abdomen or pelvis
