HIRN Webinar: “Synthetic Biology and Type 1 Diabetes: New Approaches to Protect and Construct Islets”

Thursday, August 24, 2023 (1:00 pm Eastern / 10:00 am Pacific)

Register HERE

Topics discussed:

  • Immune destruction of islets in T1D requires therapeutic strategies to protect and/or replace islets
  • Expanding set of synthetic biology tools for precision engineering of cell interactions/functions that could be applied to T1D
  • Engineering synthetic immune suppressor cells that can sense and protect islets through local tissue-targeted suppression
  • Developing new ways to steer organoid formation that could be used generate islets
