the Edmonton protocol-- where all the patients that had the transplants were able to come off insulin and remain off insulin for a period of a years.
in Edmonton .
in Edmonton and Calgary.
Kwame was talking about Edmonton , our team in Edmonton .
And then we went to Edmonton , Canada, as all shows do.
So we almost came close in Edmonton .
So we began with the Edmonton protocol in the year 2000.
So this was what we call the Edmonton protocol.
So we've treated in Edmonton over 200 patients-- 218 patients-- who've received 460 transplants.
We did 66 islet transplants at Edmonton .
We've tried this treatment in Edmonton now in over 100 patients-- I need to update those numbers-- on over 100 patients in various different protocols
Significantly improved from our original Edmonton protocol data, where currently at 15 years, just 11% of patients remain insulin-free.
Only about 10% of our patients in Edmonton are able to achieve insulin independence routinely.
So instead of me being in Edmonton , another group being in San Francisco, another group being in Australia, another group being in China,
And in 2005 I ended up working in Edmonton , Alberta, Canada.
We had a lot of black players on our team in Edmonton .
Last year we did a record number of islet transplants in Edmonton .
But what we did see in the early Edmonton protocol series is that a large number of patients did need to go back on to small amounts of insulin--
with the the Alemtuzumab than they were with the Edmonton protocol, 84% at seven years with C-peptide function.
And I was really fortunate to meet and hang out with a lot of the Edmonton Oilers, and they would send me to a lot of games.
And George Laraque was a great guy that I had known in Edmonton .
And we would always argue in the drive to the rink all the time in Edmonton because he'd have his Metallica blaring, and I'd come and I'd try to change the station.
He's currently continuing this research at the University of Alberta in Edmonton , Canada.
And last year, I was in Edmonton , Alberta in Canada, and I got the opportunity to--
Otras personas, como Richard Sutton que es un investigador de Deepmind en Edmonton , en Canadá.
And there's Doug and Tatsuya and the team at Edmonton that prepare these cells for us.
So I was going to say, the little sofa there is repping Vancouver and Edmonton .
And I came out of that process and realized, all right, I don't actually want to move to Edmonton
Dr. Shapiro's been working on diabetes research for a long time, and in particular he's credited with developing the Edmonton Protocol for human islet cell transplantation, which
This is the New England Journal of Medicine, where our first seven patients receiving islets under the Edmonton protocol-- that we called subsequently
We then replicated these trials in Miami, Minnesota, and in our own site in Edmonton in 118 patients, and were able to replicate this quite successfully in 82%
And then we moved forward with the immune tolerance network and carried out a large international trial in the US and Europe, testing the Edmonton protocol.
So I'm just going to walk you through this process, because it is quite a complex process that our team has to do in Edmonton .
today is double the number that we were able to get in 2000, when we first began the Edmonton protocol.
And then the second strategy we're using is the Viacyte cell transplants to try to treat patients just like we would at the Edmonton protocol type
So the only right city of Alberta, if you're a Calgarian, for the people of Edmonton .
