Throughout the project, human practices have engaged in various impactful activities, such as interviews, collaborations, community engagement, and education. Human Practices have reached out to not only specialist in the field of T1D, but we have also engaged with parents of children with T1D and the broader public. Through these activities, we are committed to deepening our understanding of the profound impact of T1D. Ultimately, we aim to foster awareness, empathy, and knowledge within the general population and contribute to a richer understanding of T1D and its effects on society.

Throughout this in-depth interview, we cooperated with two of our departments, including the wet lab and Human Practice with Dr. Kuan-YU Chiang. Together with the doctor, we explored the fundamental nature of T1D, distinguishing the differences between T1D and T2D, looking into the causes of T1D, and examining the far-reaching effect of T1D. Additionally, we have sought valuable insights into the current solutions and advancements in curing T1D. More importantly, we had the opportunity to gather doctor’s expert suggestions and recommendations, which will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our T1D project.

Professor Li from Nanjing University is a lab PI who mostly researches immunology and cancer. Since T1D is an immunodeficiency-caused disease, he has been doing T1D for a long time period. As a researcher in the frontline, he provided us with some advice to look into. One of the newest solutions happened recently when a patient successfully received a stem cell-like for the regeneration of beta cells. Professor Li gave a positive complement to the reg3-gomma solution and did not have decisive comments on our RNLS solution proposal.
Through the vision of medical experts and medical research, we asked for advice from them and made assumptions about the future vision of this solution. By comparing our solution with current solutions, we found it very valuable to develop this into an effective solution. By understanding the situation that doctors see, we found that T1D is a severe burden for teenagers. Adding to that, Dr. Yang also gives positive feedback to the ideology that we are proposing. While this solution might be hard to accomplish, the result will definitely bring a revolutionary shift to the current curing solution.
