Dorothy L. and James E. Frank Diabetes Research Institute
Community donors Dorothy L. and James E. Frank gave a gift of $3 million to the Hospital Foundation and Silicon Valley Community Foundation to found the Diabetes Research Institute in 2000.
The Institute is a leading Bay Area research institution dedicated to improving quality of life for people with diabetes. Researchers work with health care companies that are developing diabetes management treatments and technologies such as needle-free devices for injecting insulin; safer, more effective oral medications; and less painful, more convenient blood tests.
People who participate in Institute studies have access to advanced medical instruments, measuring devices and medications before these products are available to the public. Research participants are compensated.
