Marcela Brissova is an Research Professor of Medicine and Director of the Islet Procurement & Analysis Core at Vanderbilt University. She is also the Director of the Human Islet Phenotyping Program (HIPP) of IIDP. Her research focuses on the biology of pancreatic islets and pancreas and islet development, especially the development of pancreatic islet vasculature and innervation and their role in regulation of pancreatic islet function.

Anna Gloyn is a Professor of Pediatrics, Endocrinology and Genetics at Stanford University. Her research uses human genetics as a tool to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms for pancreatic beta cell failure in diabetes and related conditions. he aim of her research is to capitalize on an improved mechanistic understanding of pancreatic islet cell dysfunction to improve treatment options for patients via the identification of safe and effective therapeutic targets (drug development) and patient stratification (precision medicine).
