Human Islet Research Network (HIRN)

WHAT IS IT?

Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is a network to conduct innovative and collaborative research investigating the loss of human beta cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to identify pioneering strategies to protect and replace functional beta-cell mass. HIRN connects many of the world’s leading scientists and laboratories together to address essential questions related to the loss of functional human beta cell mass in T1D. Since its inception in 2014, hundreds of studies have been performed and published. Valuable resources have been generated for dissemination to communities and investigators of interest. HIRN Resource Browser is a collection of T1D research resources including T1D datasets submitted by HIRN investigators and curators.

WHO CAN USE IT?

Scientists who want to find and/or reuse T1D related omics datasets and associated research resources contributed by HIRN investigators. HIRN datasets include genomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, cellomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics datasets.
