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.”

Professor David Baker, a Breakthrough T1D-funded researcher at the University of Washington, has been awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
A study we helped conduct, which has just been published, reveals the most important unanswered questions about type 1 diabetes, based on the priorities of adults in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This will help guide future research to focus on what matters most to people living with the condition.
When given to mice and pigs with type 1 diabetes, a new type of oral insulin developed with JDRF funding detects rising blood glucose and quickly lowers it to a safe level without causing hypos.
New research finds that ustekinumab, a drug commonly used to treat psoriasis, may help children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes keep making insulin for longer.
