In this episode, Paul-Peter Tak joins Monica Westley to discuss his innovative ideas within the type 1 diabetes space and how immunology can play a role in helping find a cure for T1D. Paul-Peter is an immunologist, academic, and venture partner who has specialized in the fields of rheumatology and immunology.

Paul-Peter Tak- "I think the future is clearly in looking at type 1 diabetes in a different way. I would almost reclassify it (as an immunologist, not necessarily as a diabetes expert) and I would call it pancreatic autoimmunity."
