The JDRF Arizona Chapter was pleased to have Dr. Kowalski, JDRF president and CEO, in the Valley on September 26th! Having him speak about the importance of type 1 diabetes research, with a focus on the LOCAL research being done by Dr. Klearchos Papas and Dr. Robert Johnson, was genuinely impactful. Keep an eye out for more on his visit to Arizona, as well as more information about research happening here in the state.
