Rosa Gasa

Dr. Rosa Gasa is a prominent researcher at the Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona, leading groundbreaking studies in regenerative medicine, particularly in the development of insulin-producing cells from human skin. Her innovative work aims to offer new therapeutic options for individuals with type 1 diabetes by reprogramming skin cells, potentially eliminating the need for immunosuppression in cell transplants. Under her leadership, the research has progressed significantly, receiving support from the DiabetesCERO Foundation, and is now entering critical stages involving animal models to ensure the functionality and longevity of these newly generated cells.
