IBP's Visscher Annual Symposium is always exciting—not only for the opportunity to hear the outstanding work of our postdocs and graduate students, but also because the keynote speakers are true giants in the field, bringing inspiring science and visionary perspectives.

As the ELAM Fellowship comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey, the growth, and the incredible women I’ve met along the way. Thank you to my LC group, and hoping our connections, support, and friendships will last a lifetime. 💙

Alejandro Lab representation at APS Summit!

Congrats to our young trainees for sharing their work with our community-your curiosity, rigor, and dedication are inspiring. Kudos to their lab supervisors,your guidance and support make this success possible. Tracy Her, Seokwon Jo, Megan Beetch, Brian Akhaphong. Proud of you!

What a great group lunch to reconnect and discuss science, specifically the biology of mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. So grateful my team met Drs @DSLuciani @fkhuynh from UBC. Have an awesome time at APS! 6 posters, and one oral presentation for the Alejandro Lab!

1st Annual Symposium of NIDDK R25 Inter-site Postbac Program in DEM! Big Goal: 25+ PhD or MD/PhD admissions in four years, so far: 2 MSTP and 5 PhD acceptances! Thanks to our mentors, UMN and NIDDK for making this possible! May 1st deadline. postbac.umn.edu/application-pr…

@UMN_IBP Congratulations!!

So proud of you, Rawan!

Congrats Dr. Seokwon Jo and @drmegbeetch. Their review paper on "Placental Secretome: Uncovering the Vast Signals Shaping Fetal Metabolic Health Trajectory" is out!!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 📷

Our team looks forward to hosting Dr. Du and engaging in a scientific discussion about DOHaD.

We are looking for 4 talented postbac trainees interested in PhD or MD/PhD Programs! Apply by May 1 to join Cohort 3 and take your next step toward a career in diabetes research! postbac.umn.edu

Ms. Tracy Her's review on "Multiparity as a key variable in metabolism and pregnancy" researchis out!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you, Dr. Rebecca Hull-Meichle for spending time with our faculty and trainees. Your seminar was outstanding, and the work you’re doing to better understand islet cell communication in CF is both impactful and commendable. Thank you for your inspiring visit at UMN!

My team is excited to host Dr. Rebecca Hull-Meichle next week!

Big congratulations to our lab trainees on earning awards and advancing to the next stage of their training! 👏 Your hard work and dedication truly paid off — we’re so proud of you! 🎉

We’re excited to host several events at UMN campus: the 1st Intersites R25 NIDDK Postbac Program, IBP Annual Research Symposium for undergrad scholars with local high school students participating, and T32 pre and postdoctoral trainees on Diabetes Day.#ElevateExtraordinary2030

Last 60 days have had their ups and downs, but our lab pushed forward, talked in Taipei, secured resources for our team and move 5 special review manuscripts toward the finish line. Grateful for successful T32/AHA fellowships funding and positive NIH F32/F31 scores. Onward.

So grateful for the chance to gather and appreciate our incredible staff and trainees in @UMN_IBP

Proud of my trainees and the interest our work has generated, from mito calcium and nutrient sensing in the placenta to autophagy & sex differences in islet biology, and circadian influences on T2D. Thankful for my team, NIH, and the organizers who invited us to share our science

Grateful for NIH NIDDK and UMN Medical School for funding, which allows us to expand our postbac PRIMED program! Huge congratulations to our new four learners who have been matched with phenomenal mentors to support their scientific and career goals. Excited for everything ahead!
