We study the impact of both common and rare genetic variation contributing to different forms of diabetes, as well as the integration of genetics with clinical data from electronic health records. The lab has pioneered the development of partitioned polygenic scores to capture a person's genetic risk for a particular disease mechanism. Trained in genetic epidemiology during her MD-PhD, Dr. Udler completed residency in Internal Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and fellowship in Endocrinology at MGH. She is the founding Director of the MGH Diabetes Genetics Clinic, where she sees patients with atypical forms of diabetes including monogenic diabetes. The Udler lab spans between MGH and the Broad Insitute of MIT and Harvard, and Dr. Udler co-directs a multi-lab Diabetes Genetics Research program at MGH.
