THE URGENCY OF NOW

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that can emerge as early as six months of age and lead to a lifelong struggle with the burdens of the chronic condition. Our laboratory is committed to understanding why this disease develops in at-risk individuals, and to generating novel therapies to halt or reverse the disease after onset. We are proud to play an integral role in many team science efforts striving to prevent the development of this disease and, ultimately, to find a cure.
