Robert Moulder is a Senior Scientist at Turku Bioscience, a research centre jointly supported by the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland.
He primarily focuses on mass spectrometry-based proteomics research related to type 1 diabetes and the characterization of T helper cell subtypes.He is first author on the recent Diabetologia paper: Targeted serum proteomics of longitudinal samples from newly diagnosed youth with type 1 diabetes distinguishes markers of disease and C-peptide trajectory
RESULTS from this paper : Eleven proteins had statistically significant associations with fasting C-peptide/glucose. Of these, apolipoprotein L1 and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) displayed the strongest positive and inverse associations, respectively. Changes in GPX3 levels during the first year after diagnosis indicated future fasting C-peptide/glucose levels. In addition, differences in the levels of 13 proteins were observed between the individuals with type 1 diabetes and the matched UFMs. These included GPX3, transthyretin, prothrombin, apolipoprotein C1 and members of the IGF family.
