A cure for diabetes may be available in the next decade. Close to 10% of the U.S. population is estimated to be diagnosed or undiagnosed with diabetes. After a century of research that has focused on improving insulin, a cure for diabetes that restores the body’s own ability to produce insulin could soon be available. Watch a panel of leading scientists, clinicians, and executives discuss their collaboration to bring these stem cell-derived therapies to diabetic patients at an HSCI-hosted HUBweek event. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Organs-on-Chips. Diseases in dishes. Bioengineering creates the opportunity to mold our human cells into living machines. The ability to study and test human cells of interest in a dish and outside the body promises to accelerate the pace of therapeutic discovery, while lowering its risks. Hear from this panel of visionary scientists who are replicating human systems in the lab dish by making functioning human organs in miniature for study. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever wished you could turn back the clock a few years? That age old idiom is now becoming a reality. Thanks to aging research, there are new prospects for managing “healthspan” – slowing down, and even reversing, some of the effects of aging. Watch this lively panel discussion around the latest in aging research.
