The purpose of the Changing the Course of Type 1 Diabetes: The Human Islet Research Network 10-year Anniversary Symposium is to bring together experts in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and investigators outside of the diabetes field to discuss current trends in biomedicine that have the potential to advance T1D research over the next decade. This symposium is open to the public and will focus on emerging concepts and technological advances that will catalyze progress in T1D research in three broad thematic areas: T1D etiology, discovery, and therapies.

Meeting Objectives

• Explore potential roles of different cellular and molecular players in the mechanisms involved in the etiology and/or exacerbation of T1D.
• Highlight current knowledge and opportunities in discovery efforts relevant to T1D.
• Discuss technical developments with potential to influence the study of and development of therapies for T1D.
