BIOSID project

Research on a bioartificial pancreas for type 1 diabetes.

BIOSID brought seven organisations together between 2013 and 2016 to investigate how insulin-producing cells function inside an implantable device. The consortium studied MAILPAN, a prototype designed to support the cells while shielding them from elements of the immune system.
