Our Work

HumEn partnersOur goal is to develop insulin-producing beta cells for use as a cell therapy treatment for diabetes in the future. There has been a lot of progress in this area but fully mature and transplantable beta cells that can cure diabetes haven’t been made yet. To make progress we plan to:

Study in detail the steps it takes to make fully mature, insulin producing beta cells.

Use this knowledge to describe the best conditions for growing beta cells.

Create tools for identifying and growing functional beta cells including for use in the clinic.

Make our work available and accessible to other scientists and the European public.
