local organising committee
Dear Colleagues, Our IDS congress committee has organized an outstanding scientific program for this year’s IDS meeting and coupled this to an exciting venue in the heart of London, UK.
Researchers with an interest in the immunology of diabetes and autoimmunity attended as well as those interested in gaining a greater understanding of the disease and the development of new therapeutic strategies. Talks from global experts covered a wide range of current topics of interest to the community, including ground-breaking technologies, cell-based and advanced therapeutics, immunopathology of type 1 diabetes and pathways to beta cell failure. There was lots of networking and discussion, with the shared hope of moving towards our common goal of understanding the immunology of type 1 diabetes and how we may intervene to change the course of disease.

T1D UK Consortium Scientific and Clinical meetings at DUK 2019
We have two exciting agendas lined up for our Consortium meetings being held at the DUK conference in Liverpool on 5th and 6th March.
All scientists from the Consortium are getting together on 5th March for an interesting day of reporting developments in type 1 diabetes research in the UK.
On Wednesday evening the annual meeting for all Consortium sites that recruit patients into clinical trials will take place. This will include representatives from the pharmaceutical industry and is a great opportunity for our researchers to join together and reflect on achievements and plan for future trials.
