Breakthrough T1D NorCal January 2025 Newsletter
Greatest T1D Breakthroughs of 2024
As we look back on 2024, we can reflect upon the incredible progress we’ve made in advancing breakthroughs toward cures and improving everyday life with type 1 diabetes (T1D). From accelerating cell therapies to early detection of T1D to better glucose management tools, none of this would have been possible without each and every one of you and your continued support of our mission. Thank you!
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.
