Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): Biologic Factors and Targets for Promoting Beta Cell Regeneration, Health, and Survival (LOI)

Proposals should characterize and validate novel drug targets or biologic factors that will promote regeneration and survival of functional beta cell mass. Proposed studies should provide a basis for translation to a future drug discovery platform. In addition, most of the molecular insights into regulation of beta cell mass come from studies in animal models, and relevance to human beta cell regeneration and function is a top priority.

Funding: $165K/year over 3 years.
