Can we stop type 1 diabetes before it starts? I’m joined by Sam Reich, CEO of SAB Bio, and Dr. Mike Haller, a leading T1D researcher, to explore an innovative new therapy called SAB-142. Unlike traditional thymoglobulin, which is derived from rabbits, SAB’s therapy uses a fully human version produced by genetically engineered cows—potentially eliminating harmful side effects like serum sickness. We unpack how this treatment could delay or prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes and how it builds on research behind Teplizumab. Plus, we talk about the pivotal role NIH funding plays in advancing diabetes innovation. If you're curious about the future of diabetes prevention, you won’t want to miss this.
