David Antonetti is a cell biologist, interested in understanding the regulation of vascular permeability in diabetes. He has been studying the role of insulin and other factors in the activation of protein synthesis. One of his recent accomplishments is the elucidation of one of the early steps in insulin signal transduction. He is using cell and molecular biological approaches to investigate the intercellular and second messenger systems that open and close tight junctions.
