Laboratory of Diabetes and metabolism InvestigAtion through Biomedical Engineering, TEchnology and Simulation (DIABETES LAB)

Supervisor:
Prof. Micaela Morettini

Co-Supervisor:
Dr. Federica Verdini

Q170_053

Activities:

The DIABETES LAB is dedicated to the development of technologies in the field of studies on diabetes (type 1, type 2 and gestational), metabolism and endocrinology.
Activities of the lab include:

• modeling and simulation of physiological systems related to metabolism and immunometabolism aimed at the creation of “digital twins”
• analysis of data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
• development of decision support systems through machine-learning techniques for the prevention of short- and long-term complications of diabetic pathology (such as hypoglycemia due to physical exercise and diabetic retinopathy)
• development of methods aimed at personalizing the treatment (such as those for the quantification of individual insulin bioavailability).

Research Topics:

• Biomedical engineering for diabetes, metabolism and immunometabolism research
• e-Health
• Physiological and Neural System Modelling
• Processing and AI based Analysis of Biomedical Data, Signals and Images
