Leveraging Europe's Expertise to accelerate Cell Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes
Funds one project to standardise beta-cell manufacturing, immune-tolerance strategies and clinical criteria that speed up cell therapy for type 1 diabetes.
Legal entities established in the UK and Canada are explicitly not eligible to receive funding on this topic. The short first-stage proposal is capped at 20 pages and the full second-stage proposal at 50 pages, and consortia must meet the IHI's own additional eligibility criteria, including a roughly 45 percent industry contribution. This topic is explicitly exempted from the IHI's usual condition…
This topic wants a standardised framework for beta-cell therapy impurity thresholds and manufacturing practice, validated immune-modulating strategies that improve graft survival, and scalable, cost-effective production processes that support regulatory approval and reimbursement. It also wants AI-driven predictive models and improved preclinical models covering diverse patient groups.
