Dr. Tim Kieffer (General Surgery, Associate member) has extended his pioneering stem cell work for treating Type 1 Diabetes to Type 2 Diabetes. In his latest study, published last week in the journal Stem Cell Reports, Dr. Kieffer’s lab showed that Type 2 diabetes can be eliminated in mice using a combination of conventional diabetes drugs and specially cultured stem cells.
His work was profiled in a story in the Vancouver Sun.
