Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Bart Roep joins us to discuss the latest progress at City of Hope in the quest to cure type 1 diabetes. Early 2020 marked a milestone for science funded by The Wanek Family Project. Results had come in from a first-in-humans clinical trial testing a “reverse vaccine” for type 1 diabetes developed by Roep and his colleagues. The research showed the treatment to be safe and even indicated possible benefit as a therapy.
