Diabetes Australia awards major research grants on 100-year anniversary of insulin discovery
Research into new treatments for diabetes and new ways to prevent the serious complications of diabetes are being supported in 19 diabetes research projects funded by the Diabetes Australia Research Program in Victoria.
The successful grant recipients were announced at a special online presentation hosted by Diabetes Victoria tonight.
Diabetes Australia CEO Professor Greg Johnson was hopeful that this $1.1 million of new diabetes research funding will contribute to improved treatment and management options for the 1.8 million Australians with diabetes.
“This year we mark the 100-year anniversary since the discovery of insulin and look forward to the next discovery that transforms the lives of people with diabetes,” Professor Johnson said.
