Paul Langerhans Institut Dresden

The program of the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden (PLID) includes research into the pathophysiology of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main focus is on the mechanisms which cause the destruction and/or limited function of pancreatic beta cells and insufficient insulin secretion.
In addition, PLID also plays an outstanding role as only German transplant center for human pancreatic islet cells.
