WE NEED TO INVEST IN YOUNG SCIENTISTS

"There is a need for increased collaborative efforts to eradicate diabetes. We need to invest in young scientists with new and fresh ideas that are willing to dedicate their career to study diabetes. Federal funding for young investigators in basic research is getting harder to acquire, so private funding is critical to invest in novel ideas to help young scientists in their quest for the cure."

No one could have envisioned the difficulty of obtaining research funding, especially for young people. For these reasons, I believe the mis..."

Professor Emeritus, UC San Diego

INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE FUNDING WE RECEIVED

"Thanks to the Diabetes Research Connection, I was able to undertake my investigation, Can we engineer a patients immune cells to stop the autoimmune attack that causes type 1 diabetes? The Brusko lab is incredibly grateful for the $50,000 we received to drive this exciting research project forward."

SOMETIMES DIABETES SIMPLY CANNOT BE CONTROLLED

I support the Diabetes Research Connection because I believe that a cure is possible and may very well lie in a different direction than where traditional research has been focused. I want to support new promising paradigms of thought that are scientifically endorsed by experts in the field of diabetes. I think the Diabetes Research Connection is the perfect platform for this type of investigat..."
