Preceptors of the SRTP are carefully selected based on both their research interest and their desire to provide a research opportunity for medical students. The research of
SRTP preceptors includes metabolism, molecular physiology, immunology, nephrology, ophthalmology, behavioral psychology, health outcomes, and racial health disparities. The
preceptors range from clinical investigators to a basic scientists and include many internationally recognized investigators.
The list of preceptors below is divided into the following groups: Complications of Diabetes, Etiology of Diabetes, Health Services Research,
Metabolism, Pancreatic Islet Function and Development, Signal Transduction and Cell Biology
