Watch the full interview on YouTube to hear from Prof. Raphaël Scharfmann (INSERM, Paris), recipient of the 2025 Albert Renold Prize, as he shares insights from decades of pioneering research in pancreatic developmental biology.

In this EASD TV episode, Prof. Scharfmann discusses with Vivienne Parry how fundamental biology is paving the way for future diabetes therapies - from generating functional beta cells from stem cells to understanding how these cells can regulate glucose levels. He also highlights the major collaborative advances that have brought beta cell transplantation closer to reality and the next scientific challenge: finding a way to measure beta cell mass in living humans.
