Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation Announce Innovative Diabetes Drug Discovery and Development Partnership
Date:8/5/2009

- Program Focuses on Expanding Pipeline of Drugs For People with Type 1 Diabetes -

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation said today that it has entered into a novel collaborative research agreement with the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) to create a diabetes drug discovery and development platform. The four-year program is one of the largest and most comprehensive collaborations in the 40 year history of JDRF, a leader in setting the agenda for diabetes research worldwide and the largest charitable funder and advocate of type 1 research.

"This agreement with GNF opens exciting new avenues for JDRF to speed the translation of basic research into drugs and treatments for type 1 diabetes," said Alan J. Lewis, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of JDRF. "By creating this highly interactive collaboration with a world class organization with demonstrated expertise in discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for medical needs, we are looking to expand both the targets and the realm of possible treatments that can benefit people living with diabetes."

Based in San Diego, GNF was founded in 1999. Funded by the Novartis Research Foundation, its mission is to develop and apply innovative technologies to the discovery of new biologic processes and new or improved therapeutics for people. With a team of 550 scientists and associates, it has an impressive track record of success in translational research, and has contributed significantly to Novartis' pipeline of therapeutic candidates.

The partnership between JDRF and GNF aims to deliver a succession of drug candidates to the clinic over the next four years. The initial focus will be on pancreatic beta cell regeneration and survival, to restore beta cell function in diabetes. The program builds on current JDRF funding
