Introducing Project ACT: Accelerating Cell Therapies

Project ACT is a Breakthrough T1D initiative to dramatically speed cell therapy products as T1D cures through coordinated efforts to simultaneously advance research, development, regulatory, access, and adoption. Cell therapies could cure people with T1D. By safely accelerating their development more people will have access to these treatments more quickly. Learn more at breakthrought1d.org/project-act.
