Brief description This fellowship will provide me the opportunity to advance islet transplantation as a curative treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. The ultimate goal is to use cell-based therapy to achieve insulin independence for all people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to do this by developing a collaborative network between scientists and clinicians to advance human islet transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes and to develop genetically engineered pig cells as a novel source of insulin producing cells
