Summary
Many people think of type 2 diabetes as being a condition that affects people with high body weight, but millions of people with type 2 diabetes worldwide are lean. We do not know the cause of diabetes in these people or how to treat them. The successful applicant will work with experts in diabetes, data science, and genetics, and use detailed existing studies of hundreds of thousands of people with diabetes, to understand what is causing apparent type 2 diabetes in those who are thin and how they can be best treated.
