A team of scientists and engineers, led at the Massachusetts General Hospital Diabetes Center by Steven Russell, MD, PhD, have developed and are testing a first-of-its-kind automated device with the potential to revolutionize diabetes treatment. This medical breakthrough is called the bionic pancreas – and it’s closer than ever to making a real world impact on patients.
Steven Russell, MD, PhD, is working with colleagues on a bionic pancreas that could dramatically change the lives of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
