This will give the new center the necessary scientific foundation to move early-stage discovery projects rapidly from animal models into small clinical exploratory trials in type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the past decade, type 2 diabetes has been the main focus among diabetes researchers and pharmaceutical companies because of the dramatic rise in the number of people living with the disease. Type 1 diabetes is a different disease that requires life-saving treatment with insulin. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of major scientific progress in this area in recent years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Matthias von Herrath, MD, has accepted the position as head of the new diabetes research center. A world-renowned researcher in auto-immune diseases, Dr.\u00a0von Herrath\u00a0received the American Diabetes Association Outstanding Achievement Award in 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr.\u00a0von Herrath\u00a0currently holds the position as director of the Center for Type 1 Diabetes Research at La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology. He has been with the institute since 2001 and will continue to hold a part-time faculty position there. Dr.\u00a0von Herrath\u00a0also serves as president of both the Immunology of Diabetes Society (IDS) and the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Novo Nordisk Type 1 Diabetes R&amp;D Center is expected to open this summer, staffed by approximately 20 researchers who will be supported by corporate functions in the U.S. and\u00a0Denmark. The new center will be located on the same premises as the Novo Nordisk Inflammation Research Center in\u00a0Seattle\u00a0in order to foster natural research synergies between the two sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novo Nordisk has decided to establish a type 1 diabetes research and development center in Seattle, Washington.<br \/>\nThe unique concept
