UTS student receives PhD scholarship for diabetes research

Inah Camaya, a PhD student in the UTS School of Life Sciences, has received a PhD Top-up Scholarship from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). This award is designed to support and encourage PhD students pursuing research relevant to JDRF’s mission – to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications.

Inah’s project, under the supervision of Associate Professor Sheila Donnelly and Associate Professor Bronwyn O’Brien, investigates how a parasite-derived peptide, FhHDM-1, prevents T1D in a clinically relevant murine model without affecting the normal function of the immune system.
