A scientist leading the largest study of DNA from the pancreas will be continuing his research at the University of Lincoln.

Dr Matthew Simmonds is currently collating the largest ever collection of DNA from pancreas transplant donors and recipients.

The biomedical scientist specialises in diabetes and is heading up the world's most extensive investigation into how genetics can affect the function of pancreas transplants in people with type 1 diabetes.

Pancreas transplants are not as common as kidney or liver transplants but they are a successful treatment method for certain people with type 1 diabetes.
