Our mission at the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) is to develop -- and rapidly apply -- the most promising research to treat and cure those now living with diabetes. It’s a goal we’re uniquely positioned to reach.
We’ve established a transformational model of diabetes research, where patients are put front and center of the strategy and the process, and new findings are moved from the lab to clinical application in the fastest, safest and most efficient way possible.
The result? Our research will lead us faster to a cure for diabetes.
- Every improvement made in a basic lab experiment, for example, impacts the next level of diabetes research as the advancements move to pre-clinical studies and then to clinical trials.
- Because all levels of research are found under one roof at the DRI, we're able to maximize collaborations and cross-fertilization of ideas along the research path and across disciplines.
The DRI has been at the forefront of diabetes cure-focused research for almost 40 years. With unmatched expertise and dedication, we’ve pioneered many of the approaches to restore natural insulin production in those living with diabetes. And our work has been recognized throughout the international scientific community, adopted in research centers worldwide and embraced as gold standard approaches to resolve the challenges of diabetes.
