Regenerative medicine to cure diabetes? BetaLife is working to make that a reality.
A spin-off the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*STAR, BetaLife is developing cell replacement therapy using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) based pancreatic beta cells – cells in our body that secrete insulin.
This technology could dramatically transform and improve the lives of diabetes patients who are highly dependent on insulin injections. This therapy is targeted as a curative treatment for Type 1 diabetes, other forms of insulin-dependent diabetes, as well as a treatment option for Type 2 diabetes patients.
Adrian Teo and Natasha Ng, the two scientific co-founders join to share the founding story.
