Funded Activity Summary

Associate Professor Helen Thomas is a molecular and cell biologist with a particular interest in pancreatic islet biology, studying the mechanisms of pancreatic beta-cell destruction in diabetes. The aim of this work is to develop strategies to protect these cells. Such protection will improve our ability to preserve beta-cell mass in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and after islet transplantation.
