Endocrine scientists around the world can now access dkNET, a research portal established by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, which provides endocrine researchers and clinicians with cross-disciplinary access to critical new information. Endocrine News talks with emeritus Endocrine Society member and longtime researcher Robert Margolis, PhD, about how this new avenue will improve scientists’ ability to reach fellow researchers around the world.
Ten years ago, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) launched a database called dkNET to better serve the needs of clinicians and researchers in those spaces, created to address the challenge of connecting researchers in metabolic and digestive diseases to research resources through community databases and web portals, creating a search engine for data. Since then, dkNET has progressively enlarged and updated information available to investigators centered on the NIDDK community.
