Jon D. Piganelli studies type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the body's own immune cells attack the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. His work explores how immune cells (especially T cells) become activated against these beta cells, how metabolism and cellular stress influence this process, and how existing drugs or new approaches might prevent or reverse the disease. He also investigates broader questions in immune function, pancreatic cell development, and inflammation-related conditions.
