Cure Therapeutics: The Six Fastest Paths to Our Destination

  1. Perfecting islet transplantation – without chronic immunosuppression – to permanently restore normal blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes
  2. kids011Creating safe, stable, and widely available “universal donor” sources of insulin-secreting cells for transplantation and research to develop safe, human-compatible islet cells from animal sources
  3. Regenerating the body’s own beta cells without islet transplantation – and simultaneously inducing immune tolerance to restore normal blood sugar levels;
  4. Perfecting a closed-loop artificial pancreas
  5. Creating novel approaches and therapeutics for predicting, preventing and reversing complications
  6. Preventing type 1 diabetes by maintaining or restoring immune tolerance in new-onset patients.
