Purpose of the STSM: The main goals of my PhD project are to: 1. Understand the role of alternative splicing in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and death in the context of type 1 diabetes (T1D); 2. Identify key splicing factors and harmful mRNA splice variants that can be modulated using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to prevent β-cell loss…
