T1D never takes a day off. Doesn't matter how tough you are.

This June, we're thinking about every boy and man who carries that weight, and about the research that could one day lift it. Dr. Shapiro's team is working toward a future where the body can produce its own insulin again — taking a patient's own stem cells and reprogramming them into insulin-producing cells.

The science is real, the progress is steady, and we're not going to stop until there's a cure.

This is Clara. She’s a pre-med student from Humboldt living with Type 1 diabetes. Last month she toured the Shapiro Lab to see the team’s cure-focused research up close, and she also signed this very special poster outside the lab.

She said it best herself: “Hopefully one day this lab won’t be needed anymore.” We’re working on it, Clara! 🔬🧬
