Thanks to philanthropic funding from JDRF and the Helmsley Charitable听Trust, experts at听the听Robinson Research Institute have been collaborating with research institutions across the country to uncover听environmental factors that contribute to type 1 diabetes.

1500 newborns who have an immediate relative with type 1 diabetes are being observed in the听Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA)听Study. Led by Professor Jennifer Couper, the ENDIA Study is following participants from the prenatal period onwards, to understand the origins of childhood type 1 diabetes.听The study officially began in 2013, following several years of planning and听participant recruitment. Working together, researchers across the nation will continue to monitor participants until听they are ten years old.

鈥淏y discovering what triggers a child鈥檚 immune system to set-off on a path to type 1 diabetes, we can work out how to intervene. Philanthropic support is enabling us to expand our research and provides hope to families that one day children will be saved from a type 1 diabetes diagnosis.鈥� Professor Jennifer Couper, Head of Paediatrics, Adelaide Medical School

The ENDIA Study is a world-leading collaboration with each research institution providing an area of expertise.听The 成人大片 is leading analysis of nutritional factors during pregnancy and breast feeding, and possible links to type 1 diabetes risk. By sharing resources and knowledge across institutions, researchers gain a greater understanding of the environmental factors preceding type 1 diabetes, which is key in building a future free of the disease.
