The Emory Global Diabetes Research Center (EGDRC) is a research services organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on advancing work in diabetes and related non-communicable diseases such as stroke, hypertension, heart disease, and co-morbid conditions like tuberculosis, mental health, and HIV. It leverages a global research network to build capacity among Emory, US, and international researchers, aiming to understand causes and consequences, explore prevention methods, and inform policy by examining factors such as socio-demographics, nutrition, obesity, physiology, and physical activity. The center serves researchers as its primary audience, addressing their ability to conduct world-class, policy-relevant studies through collaboration and capacity-building efforts. EGDRC operates within the research services sector, pursuing multidisciplinary inquiry into risk factors and outcomes related to diabetes and associated diseases. In recent activity, there have been notable partnerships and developments involving Emory-related healthcare groups and broader academic and philanthropic initiatives, reflecting ongoing engagement with broader health research and community impact.
