The ENDIA Study

The Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) Study is finding out what causes type 1 diabetes so we can find ways to prevent it.

In Australia, type 1 diabetes in children is twice as common as it was 20 years ago. This is because our environment has changed. If we can understand exactly what in the environment contributes to, or protects against, the disease we can modify these factors to prevent type 1 diabetes in the future.

Professor Jennifer Couper leads a national team to find what causes type 1 diabetes. Thanks to 1500 children and their families, hundreds of thousands of precious samples and information is being collected to help us answer this challenging question.
