Despite her young age, she has likely provided more saliva, blood, wee and poo research samples than most people ever will in their lives. Why? Because Poppy is involved in a study where she and her family share the vision of our researchers that one day, we will know what causes Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and we will have ways to prevent it.  November 12 2024 a1233820 /robinson-research-institute/news/list/2024/11/12/the-quest-for-a-world-without-type-1-diabetes Transforming IVF: Biophotonics Grant to Revolutionise Embryo Quality Selection /robinson-research-institute/news/list/2024/10/31/transforming-ivf-biophotonics-grant-to-revolutionise-embryo-quality-selection ³ÉÈË´óƬ early career researcher Dr Tiffany Tan has received a Berns-SPIE SPARK grant, aiming to improve the success rate of IVF through pushing the boundaries of reproductive technology.
