Canadian Islet Research and Training Network

And just like that, the 3rd Annual CIRTN National Meeting is over! A huge THANK YOU to our co-chairs, @bruinjenny1 and @Immunometabolab, and, of course, our program coordinator, Chris Peacocke for organizing and helping make this meeting a huge success!!

DAC researcher @IsletTx is sharing the stage with @bwicklow1 at today’s @CIRTNetwork meeting. They are discussing their current research programs and how clinicians can work effectively with basic scientists.

Congratulations to DAC trainee @JasmineMaghera on her well-deserved win of the @CIRTNetwork Leadership Award!

It’s tomorrow!!! Don’t forget to join us for another great trainee-led talk at the Islets and Beyond seminar!

Tune in for another Islets and Beyond seminar 🌟 Next Wednesday, Theodore dos Santos from the MacDonald Lab will share exciting insights into alpha cell dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetes uncovered by Patch-seq! See poster for more details🔗 ualberta-ca.zoom.us/j/95101912241

We are pleased to announce the support of 4 trainees in the field of type 1 diabetes in partnership with @CIRTNetwork. To learn more about the trainees and their research, please visit: ow.ly/Vmiy50Qsk0y

So excited to be at the CIRTN meeting!

Looking forward to a packed day of talks at @DiabetesCanada #vascular2023, specially by @dnachicken, chaired by @JaneYardley2 this afternoon, followed by the 1st session of @CIRTNetwork at @ircm called “Wait, What?! There’s More to Life than the Beta Cell?!!”

As we gear up to welcome our second cohort of trainees, a nice post from @JDRF_Canada about research training and their support of @CIRTNetwork. jdrf.ca/building-capac…

To explore first-phase insulin secretion, we aimed to measure secretion from individual pancreatic islets with high temporal resolution. The resulting method published in @CellRepMethods reveals new details to secretion cell.com/cell-reports-m…
