## Resource

In this episode, Elizabeth Robertson, Director of Research and Clinical at Diabetes UK, and Rachel Connor, Director of Research Partnerships at Breakthrough T1D, discuss why prevention has become one of the biggest topics in type 1 diabetes research. They explore how decades of charity-funded research have led to exciting advances in immunotherapies that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes, the growing importance of early screening programmes, and the promise of stem cell-derived beta cell therapies. They also explain why collaboration between researchers, charities, healthcare professionals, policymakers and people living with diabetes will be essential to ensure these breakthroughs become accessible treatments that improve lives worldwide.
