Our Approach

Through detailed analysis of donor tissue, we hope to better understand events that trigger type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This website—an “atlas” of our findings—is designed to engage scientists worldwide and accelerate the discoveries in diabetes research.
Team Science

Research groups at Vanderbilt University, the University of Florida, and Stanford University are leading synergistic, collaborative research efforts

Systematic Methodology

We rely on high-resolution analysis of donor pancreatic tissues by immunohistochemistry, genomic approaches, and other functional techniques

Fueling Discovery

Our goal is to fully describe pancreatic composition and architecture, informing the development of therapeutic interventions for disease
