Join Breakthrough T1D NYC Chapter for a RESEARCH UPDATE … (AP SYSTEM)
Come out to learn about the latest developments in the launch of the Artificial Pancreas (AP) system this coming Spring 2017.
Our host speaker is Jaime A. Giraldo, Ph.D. Jaime is a scientist in the Discovery Research program at JDRF. He applies his background in biomedical engineering, encapsulation, immunology, stem cell biology and islet transplantation to support Breakthrough T1D’s work in beta cell replacement, working with investigators to ensure projects are progressing so that these technologies and therapies move closer to the clinic. In addition, Dr. Giraldo supports Breakthrough T1D’s efforts in the artificial pancreas program in the same capacity.
Artificial Pancreas (AP) systems monitor blood-sugar levels and automatically provide the right amount of insulin to keep them in a healthy range. By automating most of the blood-sugar management, these revolutionary systems improve outcomes, reduce the risk of complications and lighten the burden of managing type 1 diabetes (T1D).
