On the front lines of diabetes research

Meet Dr. Nayara de Carvalho Leite [American Diabetes Association Logo](# Getting to know a diabetes researcher [new research photo.PNG] Nayara de Carvalho Leite, PhD, President and Fellows of Harvard College {NAME}, Diabetes can take everything from those with the disease. Nearly half of all Americans have diabetes or prediabetes—and so millions of us are at risk of losing a loved one far too soon. This is why I often say that we are all connected for life in this critical fight to cure diabetes. Dr. Nayara de Carvalho Leite is truly connected for life, working towards our shared mission—she has devoted her entire career to ending the burden of diabetes, focusing on therapies to generate insulin-producing cells. Dr. de Carvalho Leite has already had success using stem cells to generate new beta cells for insulin production, and thanks to generous donors like you, she’s one step closer to applying these findings to improve the lives of our friends and family members with diabetes. Scientists like Dr. de Carvalho Leite are making progress and bringing hope to millions. Thanks to the generous donations from people like you, we are able to support this kind of cutting-edge research that leads to important discoveries. So, please remember that [when you give to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation, you power the work of Dr. de Carvalho Leite and researchers like her.
