Are you attending the HIRN Annual Meeting December 2nd-4th? PanKbase appears at two sessions; one will discuss PanKbase's progress, mission, and goals and a second along with @dknet.org, will feature an interactive demonstration of PanKbase.

Kyle Gaulton is giving an update on our PanKbase pancreas knowledgebase platform at today's American Pancreas Association meeting. If you are in San Diego, and interested in integrated datasets of the pancreas in TID, stop by. We aim to get community input of where we should go next!

PanKbase PI @annagloyn.bsky.social is giving a talk tomorrow at the American Pancreas Association meeting on “Tools for Basic Exocrine Research We Can Borrow from our Islet Neighbors”

Last month, members from our PanKbase team in conjunction with @dknet.org gave a bootcamp for the Sugar Science D challenge on how to mine data sets from PanKbase and Panc-DB. If you're interested in how you can mine the data for your own research, watch here: youtu.be/hIDoUfHXeFg?...

@dknet.org has postdoc positions available! Share with your trainees that might be interested! dknet.org/about/positi...

Lead by PanKbase MPI, Jie Liu, the NEW multimodal AI for T1D project aims to use the latest advances in AI and health data to speed discovery of treatments for T1D. Also included in this project are other MPIs Marcela Brissova, Shuibing Chen, and Steve Parker. diabetes.med.umich.edu/events-news/...

If you missed the Sugar Science T1D Th1nk Tank featuring PanKbase PIs Shuibing Chen (@shuibingchen.bsky.social) and Stephen Parker on integrative single-cell multi-omics profiling of human pancreatic islets, rewatch it here: youtu.be/aQlmpMarm3M?...

Interested in data? T1D? Check out Sugar Science's D Challenge: apply your skills and passion, dive into pre-existing data, build new models, and posit new hypotheses. Our PI Marcela Brissova is running a data bootcamp and PI Kyle Gaulton is one of the judges! thesugarscience.org/dchallenge20...

PanKbase PIs, Drs. Stephen Parker and Shuibing Chen, are giving a webinar entitled: "Integrative single-cell multi-omics profiling of human pancreatic islets identifies T1D-associated genes and regulatory signals" Sept. 25th, at 12pm EDT. For info and to register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Anna Gloyn (@annagloyn.bsky.social), Jie Liu, Noel Burtt, and Marcela Brissova from the PanKbase team gave a webinar for the HIRN webinar series. If you missed it and want to know how PanKbase might help compliment your type I diabetes research, watch it here: youtu.be/3qLiBdIOJhY?...

Great news: DEADLINE EXTENDED. The submission deadline for our new pilot funding opportunity has been extended. This funding aims to advance data-driven pancreas and type 1 diabetes research, focusing on AI, LLMs, and RAG. Check out the details on our funding page: pankbase.org/funding.html

BIG NEWS!!! PanKbase AI funding pilot program is now open. Have a look feel free to share with colleagues. pankbase.org/funding.html

📢 #Funding Alert Coming Soon! #NIDDK plans to publish a NOFO on #DigitalHealth tech for Type 2 #Diabetes care (R01, clinical trial required). From CGMs to virtual coaching, this is your chance to shape the future of diabetes management. Start preparing now! 🔗 dknet.org/about/dknetn...

Really proud of this Exeter–Stanford collaboration identifying bi-allelic variants in PAX4 as a novel cause of transient neonatal diabetes—the first new genetic cause of this subtype described in over a decade. This work expands our understanding of beta cell development. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

Our DEG explorer enables interactive visualizations of differential gene expression within human pancreatic islets. Data was generated from the integrated single-cell RNA sequencing from 140 human donors sourced from HPAP, IIDP, and Prodo. Check out the tutorial here: youtu.be/jL8SgEMF_sg?...

#ADA is in full swing. Remember to stop by PanKbase booth 1047 in the NIDDK #Datasciencecorner to catch a demo of our platform at 3:45PM CT today, or tomorrow at 12:30PM or 3:45PM CT. Check out our scRNA and DEG browsers, and learn about PanKgraph, which uses LLM to uncover biological connections.

Welcome to Chicago! If you're at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the #ADA, stop by the PanKbase booth 1047 in the exhibit hall to learn about the our updated single cell browser, ask questions, or give us feedback. youtu.be/sNEGvSIjh3M?...

Romina Bevacqua and PanKbase PI Anna Gloyn (@annagloyn.bsky.social) preview the presentations of #ADA session Genetic Regulation of Beta-Cell Mass and Function in Humans—Lessons from GWAS and Rare Genetics happening June 22, at 1:30 p.m. CT in Room W194 AB www.adameetingnews.org/genetic-regu...
