JDRF has now rebranded to Breakthrough T1D. Our name has changed, our mission has not.
Home > News & events > News > Professor Colin Dayan presented with the 2023 JDRF Rumbough Award
The JDRF David Rumbough Award acknowledges an individual who has made outstanding contributions in the field of type 1 diabetes that have significantly accelerated our mission.
For over 20 years, Professor Dayan has been a leader in type 1 immunotherapy research, and his work has been central to our research strategy and overall mission. He is leading efforts to bring teplizumab, the first disease-modifying therapy approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to Europe and the UK, which would expand treatment options.
He is a leading member of the JDRF-funded UK Type 1 Diabetes Research Consortium, through which he has brought the research community together to accelerate critical research, leverage collective resources, and collaborate to improve type 1 clinical trial delivery.
Currently, Professor Dayan serves as chair of Clinical Diabetes and Metabolism and head of section at Cardiff University School of Medicine and as part-time senior clinical researcher in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford.
JDRF Chief Scientific Officer Sanjoy Dutta, Ph.D says: “Professor Dayan has played a significant role in advancing disease-modifying therapies for type 1 diabetes that will continue to have a profound impact on the global type 1 research community and those who are affected by the condition. JDRF is proud to honour Professor Dayan for his indelible contributions and work that supports and furthers our mission.”

We’re pleased to announce that we are launching a new initiative to raise awareness of the importance of early detection in type 1 diabetes (T1D), with support from Sanofi.
In a landmark moment, the MHRA has licensed the use of teplizumab in the UK, the first-ever disease-modifying therapy for T1D.
In the study, nearly two thirds of young people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) did not have the typical identifiers of the condition.
A recent study has shown that a treatment currently used for type 2 diabetes could be used to help prevent kidney damage in young adults with type 1.
