Biography

We are interested in using diabetes technology to improve life in people with diabetes and related conditions. Specifically we are developing and clinically testing the artificial pancreas in various populations. The artificial pancreas consists of a subcutaneous glucose monitor, a control algorithm, and an insulin pump. Our work includes the development of computer-based simulations for pre-clinical evaluation and optimisation of the artificial pancreas.
