    The Rashid Laboratory uses rodent models and cell-culture techniques to study mechanisms by which environmental factors lead to the development of type 2 diabetes.

    Using wild-type and transgenic mouse models, we investigate how environmental chemicals disrupt glucose homeostasis, with particular emphasis on insulin resistance and hepatosteatosis.
