Finally we get to celebrate the winners of our annual graduate awards as well as our poster award winners from today. Congrats all!!!

Gearing up for our 2nd Western Organoid Workshop (WOW) tomorrow. It'll be an exciting day of organoid research and posters! #UWO_WOW2023

X-LABS, a #SchulichMedDent program designed to make biomedical sciences more accessible for students from diverse backgrounds has launched. Meet the trio of area high-school students experiencing first-hand what their future in science could look like. fal.cn/3A47Z

Proud to have @karlymasse present her work at the CSPT Annual meeting

After hearing from patients about how the disease affected their lives, #SchulichMedDent's Cheryle Séguin, and a team of researchers investigated the symptoms associated with an understudied spine disease called diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. fal.cn/3ykFV

Good-bye dinner for all the wonderful students in the @VBLu_Lab 2022-23 school year. Thanks for all the great memories and great science @karlymasse, @HengliangW, Sherry Chen, @xiaohan_yan3 and Jackie Han!!

Interested in gut-brain signalling, enteroendocrine cells & sensory cell biology? Then join our fantastic speakers @lbeutler7 , @rituja14 , @VBLu_Lab , @ConiAlcaino , & @LabRewitz at the @NeuroforumNWG symposium no. 1️⃣ tomorrow. nwg-goettingen.de/2023/upload/fi…

Lots of buzz at the poster sessions! So great to see after 3 years!

Our Icecream social was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the treats & the time together, and we raised more than $370 for the @LondonFoodBank1. Thanks @VBLu_Lab & @DrMatthewGrol for organizing!

@westernuPandP @LondonFoodBank1 @DrMatthewGrol Thank you everyone who came out to support @LondonFoodBank1 and to @coppadigelato for supplying frozen treats!🍨

Welcome to summer students @HengliangW and Paramveer Love to the @VBLu_Lab!!

Congratulations to all our graduate student award winners!! Very well done!

And congratulations to all poster award winners from today’s Research Day as well as all other presenters - these were tough choices! Great to see so many different labs presented here including new ones!!

Congratulations to @karlymasse and all PhysPharm Research day poster presentation award winners! Excellent job 👏 #westernuPandP

Super excited to see my work on motilin-labelled organoids out in all its pre-print glory! We looked at several new mechanisms underlying stimulation of motilin release from human small intestinal cells bit.ly/3miM6ud

👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 @wellcometrust scientists at @IMS_MRL present the first in-depth transcriptomic and functional characterization of human duodenal #motilin-expressing cells, using human duodenal organoids. bit.ly/3jKR3u7

@GairdnerAwards @SchulichMedDent Thank you for the selection. An honor to present at #GairderAwards with Gairdner Laureates @DanielJDrucker, Dr. Habener and Dr. Holst.

3/6 Dr. Van Lu, Assistant Professor at @SchulichMedDent is working to understanding the influence of gut microbiota in human health, and how the gut signals to the brain to control our eating habits.
