The Washington University Center for Diabetes Translation Research (WU-CDTR) is one of eight NIDDK-funded Centers for Diabetes Translation Research. The WU-CDTR consists of six cores which offer a range of services that support and enhance diabetes translation research for center members.

The Health Informatics in Diabetes Research (HIDR) core is led by University of Missouri investigators. HIDR aims to expand the use of state-of-the-art health informatics methods; advance the means of managing, analyzing, and extracting information from large, heterogeneous data sets to accelerate the progress of translational diabetes research, discovery and informatics; and increase the capacity for use of health informatics in diabetes research.
