Institute for Diabetes and Organoid Technology
The focus of the Institute for Diabetes and Organoid Technology (IDOT) is to understand and modify the mechanisms underlying pancreas development and function with the goal to improve disease progression and outcome. We utilize organoid systems derived from human pluripotent stem cells as well as mouse models to study pancreas biology, diabetes and pancreatic cancer, with the goal to prevent or reverse disease-related pathological processes.
