Core which promotes redox biology in diabetes-related research. It promotes research in areas common to the metabolic and vascular aspects of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The core provides services in mitochondrial damage, function, proteomics, and oxidative stress assessment support for investigators carrying out diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiometabolic disease (CMD) research at UAB.

Core which incorporates and combines expertise and technology for assessment of hormones and other analytes in both humans and animal models; body composition and fat distribution; insulin sensitivity and substrate metabolism; energy expenditure; and cardiovascular function.

Core that provides diabetes researches with diabetes related phenotyping in small animal models. Their services offered include the assessment of body composition, energy balance, glucose homeostasis, cardiovascular assessment, imaging, and transgenic animals models.

Core responsible for the scientific, education/enrichment, and fiscal operations of the DRC. Their goal is to assure the growing vitality of an intellectual community and a highly productive research program in diabetes by effective deployment of DRC resources for the benefit of our investigators, patients, and trainees.

Core supports the application of cryo-EM in making new scientific discoveries. Provides access and training in the use of cutting edge cryo-EM technology and techniques for the characterization of biological samples from the cellular to the atomic scale.
