(1/2) A century after discovering insulin, Canadian innovation is once again poised to change the world — this time through #RegenerativeMedicine and advanced therapeutics.
In an op-ed with Jessica Diniz, President & CEO of @breakthrought1dca.bsky.social,
Curing Type 1 diabetes could be Canada’s legacy
From insulin to regenerative therapy, Canada’s contribution to diabetes research is unmatched. The question is whether we’ll continue to lead or watch others cross the finish line.
