Hello Everyone!
For those interested in the latest advances in Type 1 diabetes research, the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) is hosting an upcoming virtual event.
“Meet Our DRI Scientists” will feature Dr. Camillo Ricordi and Dr. Norma Kenyon from the University of Miami. Both are internationally recognized researchers in cellular transplantation and immunology.
They will discuss four decades of progress in islet transplantation and cell therapy, including the impact of the Ricordi Chamber and the future of immune-targeting strategies designed to protect transplanted insulin-producing cells. The conversation will also explore efforts aimed at reducing or potentially eliminating the need for long-term anti-rejection drugs.
