Research partnerships are a great way for us to pool our resources and maximise funding for type 1 diabetes research. Partnering with research organisations that aren’t directly focused on type 1 diabetes encourages more researchers into the field of type 1 diabetes research. These researchers bring with them new skills and expertise, which they share with other type 1 diabetes researchers. This helps to boost the knowledge within our field and expands the range of innovative research taking place.
We have teamed up with other organisations who can help us in our mission of eradicating type 1 diabetes. This includes promoting type 1 diabetes research in Ireland through our partnership with the Diabetes Ireland Research Alliance, and driving research into cures for type 1 diabetes through the Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge. We partner with trusts like the Daphne Jackson Trust, who facilitate fellowships to support professionals returning to research following a career break of two years or more. We are also searching beyond the field of diabetes research to find the overlapping causes of autoimmunity across multiple autoimmune conditions through our Connect Immune Research partnership.
We have joined forces with the Medical Research Council to fund a clinician called Daniel Doherty to complete his PhD at the University of Manchester. His research aims to improve the outcome of islet transplants for people with type 1. Find out more about Daniel’s PhD research project.
We are also currently funding a fellowship with the Daphne Jackson Trust. Read about Dr Tom Wylie‘s work, which we supported in this way.
All our research partnerships help the money our supporters like you raise for type 1 diabetes go even further. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to leverage our donations in this way. Donate to Breakthrough T1D UK today to continue to support our research.
