ISLET is spearheaded by a unique scientific team that share an ambitious common goal: to pioneer a new advanced cell therapy for Type 1 Diabetes. Our team combines the wealth of expertise, facilities and knowledge of seven institutions to allow key findings to be translated into a therapy. As a team ISLET has a unique power to improve the lives of people living with diabetes, not just through therapy, but through advanced public engagement and communication. Meet our people and explore our goal.

An advanced therapy uses new medical products that involve gene therapy, cell therapy, and tissue engineering. This is a fast evolving area with ground-breaking potential for the future treatment of a wide-array of diseases and injuries. Delve into the science of these approaches.
