Diabetes Research Center affiliates Vincenzo Cirulli, Laura Crisa and Hannele Ruohola-Baker are collaborating with Shiri Levy (Biochemistry) and have received the first state-funded 2022-2023 ISCRM Team Award (ITA). Funding will allow the researchers to develop and validate a multidisciplinary approach to generate clinically applicable pancreatic tissue for transplant in diabetes treatment. The goals of the ITA-funded effort are to gather data required for a multi-PI center grant and ultimately to make a transformative impact on the lives of people living with type 1 diabetes.
