Loredana Marcovecchio

University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK 

Loredana Marcovecchio is a Clinical Scientist and Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Department of Paediatrics, University of Cambridge, and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Her clinical and research interests focus on childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). Since 2005, she has been actively involved in the design and conduct of both observational and interventional clinical studies aimed at improving the early detection and prevention of vascular complications in children and adolescents with T1D. 
More recently, her work has expanded to encompass the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes, with a leading role in coordinating immunotherapy trials in children and adolescents recently diagnosed with T1D, as well as observational studies involving individuals in the early stages of the disease. 
Her research has resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications and has contributed to national and international clinical guidelines on T1D management. Since 2020, she has served as a member of the Guidelines Editorial Committee of the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD). She is currently vice-President of the INNODIA.
