When I joined JDRF as president and CEO a year and a half ago, the organization was at a critical juncture. We were clearly in a position to leverage 40 years of tremendous scientific advances and increased understanding of type 1 diabetes (T1D) to provide us with opportunities greater than ever before to advance progress toward a cure. We also found ourselves presented with critical opportunities for transforming the lives of people with T1D in the near term. JDRF would not be forced to choose between a cure in the future and better, safer, and healthier lives for people with T1D today. This is why JDRF has embraced our responsibility and obligation to stakeholders by continuing the acceleration of research progress toward a cure and playing a linchpin role in the development and delivery of transformational therapies for all those living with T1D.
