The battle against Type 1 Diabetes has a formidable new champion. Sernova Biotherapeutics (TSX: SVA) (OTCQB: SEOVF), a pioneering regenerative medicine company, today announced a seismic development in its quest for a functional cure: the formation of an unparalleled Clinical Advisory Board. This isn't just a board; it's a dream team of the world's most brilliant minds in diabetes research, uniting to guide Sernova's revolutionary Cell Pouch Bio-hybrid Organ through the crucial next stages of clinical development5, 6, 8.

Imagine a life liberated from the daily burden of insulin. This is the promise held by Sernova's Cell Pouch – an innovative, implantable, and retrievable device meticulously designed to create a natural, vascularized haven for therapeutic cells. This technology, the only one of its kind in U.S. clinical trials for islet engraftment, has already shown remarkable potential for achieving insulin independence1, 3, 4.

Chairing this powerhouse assembly is Dr. Robert Gabbay, a titan in diabetes care, formerly of the American Diabetes Association and Joslin Diabetes Center. He's joined by luminaries such as Dr. Atkinson, one of the globe's most cited T1D researchers; Dr. Bellin, an expert in islet cell transplantation; Dr. Posselt, a surgeon-scientist in transplant immunology; and Dr. Russ, a leader in regenerative medicine and beta-cell biology.

"We are truly honored," declared Jonathan Rigby, CEO of Sernova, signaling that this alliance is set to turbocharge the journey towards transforming T1D treatment. With this veritable 'Avengers' of medical science now assembled, the future for those living with Type 1 Diabetes gleams brighter than ever8.
