“We strongly believe that the scientific community now has all the necessary ingredients to make cell-based therapy of diabetes an option for the majority of diabetic patients.”

José Oberholzer, MD, Director, The Chicago Diabetes Project
Help bring an end to diabetes of all types. Every dollar you give will help us bring a cure to the millions living with diabetes as fast as possible.
The Chicago Diabetes Project is racing diabetes research from the bench to the bedside, and the results are promising. Many clinical trial participants who received islet cell transplants are insulin-free within weeks of the procedure.
The Chicago Diabetes Project’s challenge is to help fund the extraordinary milestones that will make islet cell transplants a functional cure for the millions living with diabetes. By bringing the world’s top scientists and researchers together in a collaboration to find a functional cure, we will be better equipped to provide a treatment worldwide.
We are supported entirely by private funds…there are no commercial interests involved. Because we operate without the influence of for-profit thinking, the Chicago Diabetes Project operates as a collaborative community, and publishes all scientific works.
With your help, we will find a cure for diabetes as fast as possible.
Your contribution will help doctors and scientists all over the world to bring an end to diabetes of all types. Together we can brighten the lives of people across the globe.
