I am thrilled to share that I'm serving as a guest editor for an exciting issue of the Diabetology Journal, titled "Beta-Cell Failure & Death: A Cornerstone in Diabetes Pathogenesis." I invite you to share your valuable research and engage others who might be interested. tinyurl.com/4f8x5z3k

Hello! Welcome to the CIRTN-R2FIC BlueSky account! Our group focuses on researching pancreatic islet biology and pathology related to islets such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Here you will find bi-weekly updates from the scientists from across Canada that make up CIRTN-R2FIC.

Official posting coming soon, but here's a heads-up: #Postdoc Opportunity for individuals with an interest in advancing the understanding of pancreatic islet hormones in health and #diabetes. Diverse backgrounds, skill sets and experiences are welcome! www.bcell.org

Research not only saves lives, it ignites hope. Through continual innovation, WCHRI researchers are illuminating the path toward a healthier future for women and children. We are lighting the way! Read more in our 2024-2025 annual report: ar.wchri.org/ #WCHRIAR2025

Are you a diabetes researcher, clinician or trainee? On June 5, the Alberta Diabetes Institute with support from the @gairdnerawards.bsky.social will bring together diabetes researchers to showcase and discuss leading edge diabetes research and treatments.
