Alan Attie is the Jack Gorski Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research focuses on the genetics and genomics of diabetes susceptibility, emphasizing the discovery of new genes affecting this condition. He investigates the functions of genes in islet cells and studies the mechanisms by which non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are responsible for diabetes susceptibility as well as their impact on gene expression. Furthermore, his lab explores lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in relation to diabetic nephropathy, contributing to the understanding of metabolic diseases and their genetic underpinnings.
