Our Vision and Mission

Vision

We want all individuals with type 1 diabetes (adults and children alike) to be able to choose – before complications set in – one injection of insulin-producing cells, thus putting an end to diabetes for their lifetime and avoiding the antirejection drugs that are required to prevent rejection.

Mission

Diabetic individuals are our focus for whom and with whom we continue to advance pancreas and islet cell transplantation.

We offer “individualized” transplants to adults at all stages of type 1 diabetes, and we seek to achieve insulin independence with the least harmful approach possible.

We give high priority to research and education so that successful transplantation may become applicable to children, commonplace, and routine, for children as well as adults.
