Funded Activity Summary

Type 1 diabetes is caused by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Certain white blood cells of the immune system direct a damaging inflammatory response towards beta cells. Patients become ill once most of the beta cells are destroyed. This project aims to identify molecular signatures within subjects' blood which reflect the destruction. These markers will help predict diabetes risk, assess severity and response to treatment, as well as define targets for intervention.
