Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre

The Rio Tinto Children's Diabetes Centre is a research centre that aims to improve the lives of children and young adults living with diabetes by bringing together research, education and clinical care.

About the centre

The Centre includes researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia’s Diabetes Research Team and the Diabetes Service at the Perth Children’s Hospital.

What is diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that results from the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Unlike type 2 diabetes which is potentially preventable, type 1 is a non-preventable disease - currently, its exact cause is not known and there is no cure.

Research results

Many of the Centre's researchers have been responsible for discovering and contributing to real game-changers, making a difference to children with diabetes.
