Dr. Michael German is both a professor and an active clinician at the University of California, San Francisco. His research focuses on the development of pancreatic beta cells, and all the genes and triggers that guide a stem cell to an insulin-producing fate.
Dr. German was the first of a series of beta cell scientists, and he gave an overview of the life of a beta cell, from embryo to pancreas:
The beta cell is a unique cell in that it is the only cell in the human body that makes insulin.
