Quickly from Bench to Bedside

The German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) is working to transfer research findings from the laboratory to humans as quickly as possible (translation) in order to better prevent and precisely treat diabetes and avoid complications.
Thanks to the efficient implementation of research results by the DZD, numerous people are already benefiting from new types of medication, more precise diagnoses and therapies as well as improved prevention.
