On 10 May 1926, the Baker Institute was born in a small lab at the back of The Alfred Hospital. We've grown so much since then! On the eve of our 99th birthday, we celebrated with a team get together of staff and students to mark the occasion and begin the countdown to 100 years.

Thanks to Daryl Mitchell for inviting us to his home to film his story about developing type 1 diabetes at the age of 49. Daryl shared what it's like having to make 100 decisions a day to stay in a good range with his blood sugar, and monitoring it on his phone app.
