About the Clinical Trial:
The purpose of this NIH funded trial is to examine the effects of three different diabetes treatments to determine if they improve night-time blood sugars.
This Trial Involves:

- Treatment with Metformin, Insulin Glargine (long-acting insulin) or the experimental drug Dorzagliatin which is FDA-approved for research, for up to 8 weeks
- 2-4 inpatient visits/ including two overnight stays at the Clinical Research Unit at 15th floor of Jefferson Tower.
All visits to be completed within a three-month period. Study-related tests and procedures are provided free of charge. Participants will be compensated up to $2,500 for study completion. All Participants must be Diagnosed with type 2 DM and Not on any type of insulin therapy.

We are currently recruiting participants aged 18-30 with normal or corrected to normal vision and participants aged 18-89 with Macular Degeneration/Stargardt's Disease for a clinical research study that aims to understand how individuals learn to use their peripheral vision following the loss of central vision. This study is being conducted in the Civitan International Research Center and involves a total of 27 in-person visits over the course of 1.5 to 3 months. There are 2 MRI visits (1 at the beginning of the study and one at the end), 5 assessment visits (3 baseline assessments and 2 post assessments), and a total of 20 training sessions (in between the baselines and the post assessments). Compensation for full participation in this study is $350.
This is a great opportunity for all to gain experience participating in a clinical research study. All participation would not only contribute to advancing our understanding of perceptual learning and how the brain processes vision, but also holds the potential to improve outcomes for those with central vision loss.
If you or someone you know may be interested, please consider participating.
For more information or to express interest, please email mcmaxwell@uabmc.edu or text or call 205-410-4041, or visit go.uab.edu/brainstudy to sign up!

Join us at the Alabama Vaccine Research Clinic at UAB! We are looking for volunteers to join a Phase 1 clinical trial to test the safety and immune response of a new HIV vaccine. The study is for adults who are HIV-negative, in good health, and aged 18 to 55. Procedures will include blood draws and injections of the study vaccine, as well as the collection of white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis. Participants will be compensated for their time in this study. The study vaccine will not give you HIV. If you are interested, please call 205-934-6777 or email avrc@uabmc.edu.

Participants Needed. We are recruiting individuals who have experienced a stroke and are able to walk with minimal restriction and also age similar control participants that have NOT experienced a stroke between the ages of 18-89 for a research study on walking. The focus of this study is to understand how to optimize the delivery of a combined strength and aerobic training regimen to individuals with post stroke hemiparesis and reduce overuse and inefficiencies associated with the unaffected leg while walking. If you qualify, your participation in the study will span a single study visit, with a total time commitment of 3 hours. You will be compensated for your time. Please e-mail Christopher Hurt at cphurt@uab.edu or contact him by phone at 205-934-8517 if you are interested.
Study Information:
- Are you 18-60 years of age living with HIV, and want to be a part of a vaccine study?
- Is your viral load suppressed/undetectable?
- Are you able to receive a vaccine?
- Are you generally healthy?
- Are you willing to temporarily stop taking antiretrovirals?
You may qualify for a study looking at testing an experimental HIV vaccine with an experimental adjuvant to see how the immune responses change among participants who do an antiretroviral analytical treatment interruption (ATI) compared to those who do not.
