Description
The goal of this project is to enhance the technology used to detect and measure non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in blood, which will help us to find new biomarkers for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). By analyzing blood samples from individuals involved in the INNODIA consortium project, we hope to discover novel biomarkers that can predict, monitor, and tailor treatments specically for T1D.
Ultimately, we also aim to trace these ncRNAs back to their originating cells. This could greatly improve our understanding and management of the disease.
