Our Story – Funding Novel Research
DORI was developed alongside a team of experts in population research, clinical research, mHealth & early life research. Currently, DORI includes a research base of 76 investigators and $45.7M in research funding in direct costs/year (87% NIH/Federal funding) in obesity, nutrition, and diabetes.
The goal of DORI continues to focus on studying diverse and high-risk patients and communities to understand ethnic and income disparities in obesity and diabetes, how these disparities link to disease and how they emerge during critical periods of the life and development.
This is best represented by DORI’s novel research in areas such as, the basic science of adipose tissue, beta-cell biology & appetite regulation, nutrition science, health outcome and implementation science, digital health technologies.
