Delibasi Lab

Our Mission

We are pioneering stem cell-derived islet transplantation as a potential cure for insulin-deficient diabetes. Our approach involves generating functional insulin-producing islets from adipose-derived stem cells, with the goal of achieving long-term glucose regulation and independence from insulin therapy. By optimizing differentiation protocols and enhancing transplant viability, we aim to bring regenerative medicine closer to clinical application.

People and culture

Our people are what make us unique. Rather than outsourcing our construction engineers from questionable outsourcing establishments, we provide them with an environment that supports professional growth.

We are strong believers in giving our employees a voice. Our teams are put together with the help of our resident psychologist to ensure maximum productivity and engagement.
