Emiliana Di Donna & Dr Zahra Mohri – Faculty of Medical Sciences
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a time when communities across the country seek to bring attention to diabetes. This UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences lecture will focus on recent research on type one diabetes.
Type one diabetes is an autoimmune condition which results in absolute lack of insulin. Treatment has focused for many years on the replacement of insulin but we are entering an exciting new era where there is a real possibility of prevention . In this talk I will cover these new developments and the new treatment options for those living with T1D.
This lecture will be followed by a Q&A with our speaker, Dr Miranda Rosenthal.
