4 Supporting the University of Michigan Comprehensive Diabetes Center The University of Michigan Comprehensive Diabetes Center is a world leader in understanding, preventing and treating diabetes and its many associated complications. The ultimate goal: reverse the course of the disease to save lives. As a top international research university, U-M has dozens of faculty members across campus working together and with colleagues across the globe to solve some of the most compelling puzzles of diabetes. Many individual clinicians and researchers are international leaders in their fields. The Rugiero family is a critical partner. The Rugiero Casino Royale Event and Antonio Rugiero Sr. Diabetes Research Fund fuel cutting-edge projects and innovative investigations that otherwise may not be possible. Together, this team is a force to be reckoned with, ensuring that the spectrum of diabetes research is moving forward at a rapid pace. The promise of the future is bright. Building on a strong history of discoveries, U-M is making significant breakthroughs by forging new links between clinical and research programs. They are dedicated to translating scientific discoveries into new treatments as quickly as possible. The need for solutions is urgent. Diabetes affects more than 25 million Americans, 8.3 percent of the population. Another 79 million have a high risk of developing the disease. Ranked seventh overall as a cause of death, diabetes is the nation s leading cause of heart disease and stroke, kidney failure, non-traumatic lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness in the United States. Major discoveries are going to come from the work that is done here. Together, we can reach farther than any one of us alone could ever do.
