Beta Cell Regeneration Biology

  

Department head
Thomas Christian Beck

 

Research Aim:
 To deliver drug candidates to treat or prevent diabetes by reconstitution of functional beta-cell mass

  

The Beta Cell Regeneration Biology department currently consists of approximately 40 ambitious and dedicated people comprising scientists, research technicians and students.

Our objective is to identify targets that can treat or prevent diabetes by reconstituting functional beta cell mass.

We identify, investigate and translate protein targets that can induce beta cell regeneration. Using state-of-art technology, we study processes of beta cell neogenesis and replication. Furthermore, we work in close collaboration with the department of Stem Cell Biology.
