Can’t wait to share the results of our project. So good to have the support of @JDRFUK, @IMSR_UoB and of course @IldemAkerman
In her Small Grant Award project, Dr Fiona Docherty has been investigating if turning on the gene GLIS3 (which has been shown to increase insulin levels) produces better beta cells in the lab 🧬 Find out more: https://t.co/72l0hAZ77V

Very excited to be working with @DiabetesUK Grand Challenge Fellow Dr Salem this project! @IldemAkerman @IMSR_UoB
Dr Victoria Salem will use state-of-the-art bioprinting techniques. 🧡 She’ll ‘print’ a jelly-like protective barrier that will shield new beta cells from the immune system’s attack. 2/5

Another great fundraising challenge from @JDRFUK We're very grateful for all their support in the @IldemAkerman lab @IMSR_UoB!
Join #CycleForACure to help fund Fiona’s research! @Fiona_Doc is growing new insulin-producing beta cells in her lab. One day, these beta cells could be given to people with #T1D to replace their own beta cells which have stopped working. Sign up: https://t.co/13gAjduLWl
