Peter G. Jacobs, PhD
Keynote - Applications of AI in Diabetes Care: From Islet Transplant Therapies to Automated Drug Delivery and Decision Support
March 14, 2026, Oregon City, OR
1:00 pm – 4:30 pm (Pacific Time)
The Breakthrough T1D Community Summit is an educational and networking opportunity for all those impacted by type 1 diabetes (T1D). This year, the Summit will bring our community together to learn from T1D experts, hear about the latest breakthroughs in research, connect with vendor exhibitors, and build meaningful connections with others who understand the T1D journey. All are welcome to join at no cost!
Interested in volunteering? Click here to sign up today!
12:00pm-2:00pm TrialNet Risk Screening
Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) will be joining and bringing TrialNet risk screening (and re-screening!) to local families.
Relatives of people with T1D have a 15 times greater risk for developing the disease than people with no family history, but TrialNet offers a free blood test that can detect T1D in its earliest stages, years before symptoms appear. Anyone found to be at high-risk can be monitored by TrialNet clinicians and may be eligible for a prevention study.
People interested in screening can contact diabetes@benaroyaresearch.org to complete screening paperwork ahead of time. Walk-ins are also welcome.
1:00pm-2:00pm Check-in & Vendor fair

Applications of AI in Diabetes Care: From Islet Transplant Therapies to Automated Drug Delivery and Decision Support
In this presentation, Dr. Peter G. Jacobs will go over how his lab, the Artificial Intelligence for Medical Systems (AIMS) lab at Oregon Health & Science University and Oregon State University, is using artificial intelligence (AI) to design new therapy options for people living with type 1 diabetes. He will discuss how they utilize AI to improve automated drug delivery and decision support. He will also discuss a new project funded by Breakthrough T1D where he is exploring how they can use casual models to identify factors that are impacting the success of islet transplant therapy. In this project, they are using several large datasets including the Collaborative Islet Transplant Registry (CITR) and datasets from the University of Alberta and the University of Edinburgh to build explainable forecasting models that can predict the success of islet transplants.
