Thank you.
My next question is for Dr. Verchere. Canada gave insulin to the world. Now UBC is using a mouse model to assess specific therapy for type 1 diabetes, which uses an injection of a viral vector to to find out if gene therapy can cure diabetes.
Diabetes Canada has brought forward a strategy that calls on the Government of Canada to invest $150 million over seven years to implement the Diabetes 360° framework.
How could increased funding in the field of diabetes research help reduce some of the knowledge gaps and lead to better outcomes for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
