Pancreas Development: A Key to Discover Unexpected Treatments of Diabetes

What does the future hold for beta cell biology and diabetes treatment? Join Prof. Raphaël Scharfmann (INSERM), recipient of the 2025 Albert Renold Prize, as he explores how developmental biology is unlocking new ways to generate functional beta cells - an important step toward curing diabetes. In this inspiring interview from the EASD 2025 Annual Meeting in Vienna, Prof. Scharfmann discusses the progress in stem cell-derived beta cell generation, the collaboration driving translational research, and the next big challenge, counting beta cells in the living human pancreas. Discover how decades of research are shaping the next frontier in diabetes science and what it means for future therapies.
