Our Partnership with the Diabetes Research Institute
At Touched by Type 1, our mission has always been to empower individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) through supportive communities, interactive programs, and essential resources. A critical aspect of our mission is our collaboration with the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI), an organization renowned for its groundbreaking work in diabetes research and treatment. This partnership is pivotal in driving forward our shared vision of a world without Type 1 Diabetes.
A Legacy of Hope and Innovation
The Diabetes Research Institute was established with the core belief in transparency and hope, values that resonate deeply with our own. The DRI's journey began as a modest initiative led by Dr. Daniel H. Mintz, whose pioneering work in diabetes management and islet cell transplantation has set the foundation for many of today's advancements. The DRI building, a symbol of hope for millions, represents the promise of a future free from the burdens of diabetes.
Driving Research Towards a Cure
The DRI's research efforts, supported by organizations like ours, are making significant strides towards finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. From advanced clinical management techniques to innovative islet cell transplantation, the DRI’s work continues to push the boundaries of what is possible. Our combined efforts aim to accelerate these breakthroughs, offering renewed hope to the T1D community.
Our collaboration with the Diabetes Research Institute underscores the importance of community, support, and relentless pursuit of a cure. We invite you to be part of this journey. Whether through attending an event, volunteering your time, or making a donation, your involvement is crucial. Together, we can elevate awareness, support groundbreaking research, and move closer to a future without Type 1 Diabetes.
