The Diabetes Research Institute recently welcomed Estefania Quesada-Masachs, MD, PhD, Whit Hudson Young Investigator to the team. With a rich academic background and a passion for unraveling the mysteries of autoimmune diseases, Dr. Quesada-Masachs brings a wealth of expertise and enthusiasm to the DRI.
Dr. Quesada-Masachs conducts research to understand the role of the immune system in T1D and the local events that occur in the pancreas during different stages of the disease. Her ultimate aim is to develop new therapies to prevent or reverse T1D. Because human pancreatic tissue is difficult to access, she relies on collaborations and innovative tools to study the disease.
