About Us
ABOUT US
The Alberta Diabetes Foundation funds innovative research for the prevention and treatment of all forms of diabetes. We are aligned with talented researchers across Alberta, and progress is being made. Funding is disbursed when and where it’s needed most, moving projects along that may otherwise be stalled, facilitating measurable results.
“Understanding
the islet cells in the pancreas that make insulin, how they work–and how they can fail–could lead to new ways to treat the disease, delaying or even preventing diabetes.”
Dr Patrick MacDonald
