Saving Beta-Cells, Improving Lives 

We develop a novel therapy to reverse the progression of early-stage type 1 diabetes and reduce insulin dependency.

​

From wildcrafting
to bench-to-bedside development.

Dunica was founded by Daniella Givon, a clinical herbalist and entrepreneur whose daughter was diagnosed with type T1 diabetes at the age of seven years. They were quickly familiarized with the struggle of managing the disease, juggling a strict diet, blood-sugar monitoring, and multiple insulin injections taken day and night.
