Discover how we can accelerate research that redefines the landscape of type 1 diabetes.
A type 1 diabetes research funding program from Sanofi
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a progressive autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.1,2 The disease process begins months to years before clinical symptoms appear3 and can be detected in presymptomatic individuals.4 Detection of early-stage disease and the development of effective management strategies are important to improving outcomes and quality of life of those affected.3,5
Sanofi launched the T1D Innovation Grant Program to support research in T1D to drive early detection and innovation that may lead to an improved T1D trajectory in individuals across the different stages of T1D.
