NEW U.VA. DIABETES RESEARCH CENTER TO BE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN STATE
A newly established research center at the University of Virginia may soon offer hope for the 300,000 Virginians who suffer from the debilitating complications of Type 1 diabetes. The Center for Cellular Transplantation, which is funded in part by a $500,000 gift from Paul and Diane Manning of Keswick, Va., will include the first pancreatic islet cell isolation facility in Virginia.
By using islet cell transplantation, this state-of-the-art facility will make insulin-producing cells to test new therapies that may reverse or prevent Type 1 diabetes from developing.
