On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, JDRF New England held its 19th Annual Spring Research Briefing, featuring Dr. George L. King, M.D. It was our true pleasure to provide a deeper insight into one of our most promising JDRF funded projects. We learned from Julia Greenstein, Ph.D., JDRF’s Vice President of Research Strategy, about JDRF’s research portfolio, and from Dr. George King about the exciting discoveries taking place through his comprehensive work leading the Joslin 50 Year Medalist Study, such as the identification of potential protective factors that are helping to prevent and treat diabetic eye and kidney diseases. Watch Dr. King’s entire presentation here.
