The Chief Research Advisor of the JDRF, Dr Delovitch, will talk about diabetes research and genetic discoveries, some of which could help to prevent type 1 diabetes entirely . There will also be a discussion about the artificial pancreas project .
Dr. Delovitch reportedly commented: "With the advent of several recent advances in technology and significantly increased funding, JDRF is well-positioned to continue funding world class research in Canada and take even greater strides towards building a bridge to the cure for type 1 diabetes ."
