Curing Type 1 Diabetes: Real Science with Seraxis CEO, Will Rust

Send us Fan Mail "A cure is five years away." If you've lived with type 1 diabetes for any length of time, you've heard it. Maybe at diagnosis, maybe from a well-meaning doctor, maybe on repeat for decades. Then five years pass, and five more, and the question gets harder to ignore: where is it? That frustration is fair. So is the skepticism. But Seraxis CEO Will Rust believes we are closer to a cure for T1D than we've ever been, and he makes his case in this episode. We dig into what Seraxis is actually building, how its approach differs from Eledon's, what FDA approval would really mean for people living with T1D, and why he thinks hope is warranted this time rather than naive. Could a cure happen in our lifetime? Listen, and decide for yourself. I've been living with type 1 for most of my life, and I've heard the five-year promise more times than I can count. This conversation left me feeling something I don't feel often about cure research: cautiously, genuinely optimistic. I hope it does the same for you. Thanks for tuning in!
