Please find below a list of what we would like to do with your donation:
- Research into Hyperinsulinism of Infancy.
- Why do children with CHI have feeding difficulties?
- This project will look at all aspects of feeding in children with CHI.
- What is the long-term neurological follow up of children with CHI?
- This will be extremely important as we want to know what the consequences are of hypoglycaemia in terms of detailed neurological assessment.
- What are the long-term consequences of medical therapy with diazoxide and octreotide?
- Why do some children respond to diazoxide and how do they release insulin while on diazoxide therapy?
- Laboratory based research
- Understanding molecular mechanisms regulating insulin secretion.
- Insulin signalling.
- How do defects in genes lead to unregulated insulin secretion?
- What are the molecular mechanisms controlling growth in patients with hyperinsulinism.
Our aims:
- To have a full time research nurse.
- A full time clinical nurse specialist
- Medical research fellow (Dr)
- Technicians/laboratory based people
