Meet The Scientist! Matthias von Herrath

Dr. Matthias von Herrath is committed to clinical translation of
immune-based interventions in autoimmune and metabolic diseases,
the latter in particular being an exciting emerging field. His
expertise and main strength is working at the interface of
experimental research to interpret and refine early phase I/II
clinical trials in order to optimize strategies for phase 3
trials and drug approval. This comprises translation from various
animal models to human interventions, optimization of
immunotherapies and their relative ranking, assessment of
combination therapies, development of biomarkers as primary or
secondary outcomes, induction of antigen specific tolerance in
autoimmunity, regulatory cells and clinical T cell assays. In
order to be better able to pursue his goal of clinical
translation, Dr. von Herrath accepted the position of Vice
President and Head of NovoNordisk’s diabetes R&D Center in
Seattle in autumn of 2011. At NovoNordisk, he built the diabetes
translational unit, which is based on less conventional and
innovative design.


Understanding disease pathology remains very close to Dr. von
Herrath’s heart and NovoNordisk enabled him to keep an
appointment at La Jolla Institute, where he pursues NIH-funded
research on the pathology of type 1 and 2 diabetes as part of the
national pancreatic organ donor network (nPOD). This is a
multinational collaborative effort where data are shared in real
time and no intellectual property yet lots of new knowledge on
the pathology of type 1 and 2 diabetes is being generated. It is
a unique new collaborative paradigm for academic and also
industry settings.
