Baker-Deakin Department of Lifestyle and Diabetes

Researchers at the Baker-Deakin Department of Lifestyle and Diabetes (Baker-Deakin DLD) are developing advanced solutions for one of the greatest health challenges of our time – the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.

A collaborative partnership between the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and IPAN at Deakin University, the Baker-Deakin DLD focuses on shared research interests in physical activity, sedentary behaviour, nutrition, and chronic disease management to address the growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in our community.

The Department was established in February 2022 for an initial five-year term.
