What is the current state of research regarding Diabetes Type 1? An immunologist reviews basic information about the disease and the prospects indicated by current studies. Marina Cetkovic-Cvrlje is a medical doctor and immunologist who has dedicated her life to researching autoimmune type 1 diabetes. Originally from Croatia, she started her career in a Croatian research institute after practicing medicine for several years. She continued her research journey as a visiting researcher at a Swedish institute, a postdoctoral fellow at The Jackson Laboratory, and a senior staff scientist and head of the autoimmunity and transplantation program at a biotech startup in Minneapolis. Marina joined the biology department at St. Cloud State University 18 years ago to combine her two passions: teaching and type 1 diabetes. Every June for the past 12 years, she has led a biology study-abroad program in Croatia, where her American and Croatian students study in mixed groups. Marina is a huge dog lover. She is also an avid traveler who enjoys exploring new countries and landscapes with her husband. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
