CSG 2 aims to further research into preventing and treating Type 1 diabetes. This CSG will cover the manipulation of the immune system for the prevention and treatment of Type 1 diabetes, alongside cell therapy and islet cell transplantation.
The group will also cover therapeutic targets and the development and study of drug treatments and insulin therapy in people with Type 1 diabetes.
If you would like to share your views with CSG 2 on where research into prevention, targets and therapies for Type 1 diabetes should be focussed, please get in touch: csgs@diabetes.org.uk.
