NPOD

At nPOD, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and believe that through collaboration we can address current issues in science of type 1 diabetes. For this purpose, we are gearing up with Key Questions working groups... Since inception nPOD has identified over 180 organ donors with T1D, and close to 50 donors that express T1D-associated autoantibodies, typically found in individuals with preclinical disease. Over the years, nPOD has provided tissue samples to over 300 investigators worldwide and supported over 245 research publications. nPOD has also facilitated the formation of highly collaborative working groups targeting key research areas in T1D... nPOD aims at supporting innovative research projects with seed funding and encourages scientists from any discipline to engage in T1D research if they can contribute novel ideas, hypotheses, approaches and technologies. To this end, the Helmsley Charitable Trust has endowed nPOD with the George S. Eisenbarth nPOD..
