The Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is a recognized world leader in cure-focused research. Pioneering many of the techniques used in islet cell transplantation since the early 1970’s, the DRI has successfully reversed diabetes in patients involved in ongoing clinical trials. The Institute’s research is now directed at improving transplant processes and developing new biomedical technologies and cell-based therapies to restore insulin production. For the millions of families already affected by diabetes and who are looking to the world of science for answers, the Diabetes Research Institute is the best hope for a cure.

Mission: To provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes through islet transplantation and other cellular therapies.
