Request for Applications: JDRF Encapsulation Consortium: Developing and Testing Novel Encapsulation Technologies
Full applications should be submitted no later than August 1, 2014 at 5 p.m. EST via RMS360 (http://jdrf.smartsimple.us). One of JDRF’s therapeutic goals is to restore beta cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by replacement/transplantation of beta cells/islets. Pancreatic islet transplantation has been efficacious in selected patients in improving metabolic control and quality of life, and in preventing severe hypoglycemia in patients with medically unstable T1D. Despite improvements in cadaveric pancreas procurement, islet isolation, and islet purification, major scientific and technical challenges r...
