Ongoing research projects 

The research group works on developing new cell-based therapies to treat diabetes
in a pre-clinical and clinical setting. 
 
  • Clinical trials
  • Clinical beta cell replacement program (allogenic/autologous transplantation of beta cells) 
  • Generate new functional beta cells from pluripotent stem cells and understand their metabolism
  • Developing Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). These are a class of medical products that include gene therapies, cell therapies, and tissue-engineered products. 
  • Development of a novel cell therapy based on decidual stromal cells for the treatment of type 1 diabetes
  • Developing organ-on-chip platform with pancreas and liver for disease modelling and drug screening
