Type 2 diabetes (or T2D) affects more than 500 million people worldwide. Yet scientists still struggle to explain why the disease develops differently from one person to the next. Our scientists are working to change that. 🧬 🧪

To advance type 2 diabetes research, JAX-NYSCF scientists are making pancreatic organoids at scale

By automating one of biology's most labor-intensive processes, a robotic platform is helping scientists grow and study organoids for diabetes and other complex diseases at unprecedented scale.
