Aaron J. Kowalski, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert in the area of diabetes technologies and has been a leader of JDRF’s Artificial Pancreas Project, a multi-million dollar initiative that began in 2005 to accelerate the progress toward a closed-loop automated insulin-delivery system. JDRF established the Artificial Pancreas Consortium to fund doctors and researchers across the world to advance this revolutionary way to treat and manage type 1 diabetes. Today JDRF is poised to translate research into the first steps toward real treatment options, by partnering with Animas, a Johnson & Johnson company that manufactures insulin delivery and glucose management systems, to develop a first-generation artificial pancreas. Currently there are clinical out-patient trials in Europe and similar ones are scheduled to start in the US later this year.

Here is a webcast of JDRF’s Dr. Aaron Kowalski describing the Artificial Pancreas Project and JDRF’s partnerships with Animas, DexCom, and BD.
