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 has led the efforts to bring teplizumab to the UK.
He is a leading member of the Breakthrough T1D-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 Professor of Clinical Diabetes and Metabolism at Cardiff University and as part-time senior clinical researcher in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford.
Breakthrough T1D 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.”
Donate to JDRF today so that we can continue funding amazing research to develop cures and treatments for type 1 diabetes.
The inaugural Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress (CRC) brought together more than 1,000 clinicians, researchers, industry leaders and members of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community from around the world.
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) is the continent's largest diabetes conference. It brought together researchers from around the world to share the latest developments in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
New Breakthrough T1D-funded research from Harvard, USA, has found a link between how gut bacteria develops in early childhood and the risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Researchers from John Hopkins University, USA, partially funded by Breakthrough T1D, have developed an experimental treatment that protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammatory damage, allowing them to survive for longer in animal models.
