研究领域

Dr Light is an international leader in the field of cellular electrical activity. His research is focused on three primary areas: 1) Islet signaling and diabetes; 2) Islet engineering; 3) Cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury; He is focused on understanding the relationship between dietary fats and insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes and has made important contributions to our current knowledge of how diet and genetic background may be linked to type 2 diabetes susceptibility.
