IIAM has been instrumental in supporting diabetes research, placing nearly 350 pancreas for medical study over the past 4 years to help researchers find a cure for Types 1 and 2 diabetes! Mingder Yang, Ph.D., Director of the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) noted “Over the last decade, IIAM has been the strongest alliance with nPOD in bridging organ donors and families to Type 1 Diabetes research. By studying these precious gifts, nPOD investigators have changed the understanding of human Type 1 Diabetes and IIAM has been an integral part of the journey. We look forward to further strengthening our productive relationship in uncovering the pathogenesis of this debilitating disease until a cure or prevention for Type 1 Diabetes is found.” Learn more.
