Join us on September 26, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine for our annual Dance for Diabetes! It will be an evening dedicated to funding groundbreaking Type
Up to $75,000 is available for each research project we support, highlighting the urgent need for continued investigation into Type 1 Diabetes. This funding is vital for uncovering new treatments and ultimately a cure, offering hope to millions affected by this condition. Through dedicated research, we aim to improve lives and change the future of Type 1 Diabetes care.
6 Month Update The goal of our pilot project is to identify the role that the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) plays in the development and progression of kidney disease […]
6 Month Update Aim 1. Determine the viral infection history of T1D patients compared to healthy controls. Methods: We designed 15,000 oligonucleotides covering all 6 of the insulin carrying viruses and […]
6 Month Update Our studies have identified a novel pathway consisting of two receptors, LGR4 (Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 4), a positive, and RANK (Receptor Activator of NFκB), a negative regulator, whose […]
6 Month Update The primary objective of this DRC-funded project is to investigate the role of PD-L1 molecules in beta cells under stress conditions, hypothesizing that they may increase to […]
Project Description Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells while leaving behind other pancreatic islet cell types. Over the past decade, research has demonstrated […]
Project Description The immune system, which normally protects us from infection, can improperly attack the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets, which leads to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Often, […]
Project Description Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease which involves both environmental and genetic drivers. It is thought that genetic mutations that contribute to T1D impact the function of […]
Project Description In Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, leaving the body unable to regulate blood sugar levels properly. […]
Project Description Type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs due to a loss of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. The hormone insulin regulates blood glucose levels which is vital for […]
Project Description Stem cells offer new hopes for cell replacement therapies to cure Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune disease causing the loss of insulin-producing b-cells. Yet, despite promising results from […]
