#WorldDiabetesDay2022 Thank you to those are brave to share your experiences of living with diabetes with the rest of us. Thank you to the souls and families who donate their islets to research. Thank you to the trainees who work their * off to gain more knowledge of diabetes!

Proud to be part of a remarkable diabetes research community and work at @BCCHresearch @BCChildrensHosp I am fortunate to work with and learn from amazing colleagues, outstanding trainees in our lab, and persons with diabetes who are our partners and inspiration #WorldDiabetesDay
"It would be great if people could forget about their #type1diabetes (T1D) for longer than 5 minutes," says @lindsaypallo, a researcher with T1D conducting diabetes research in Dr. @BruceVerchere's lab. Read the full story this #WorldDiabetesDay: bcchr.info/3X5zdUW

Dr. Chris Tam of @IntegratedNTX presented a drug delivery platform that can deliver any type of drug modality in lipid nanoparticles, either alone or in combination, to disease cells and tissues for safer and more effective medicines that improve human health.
Thrilled to launch our @NSERC_CRSNG CREATE program in partnership with @JDRF_Canada, to provide funding, enhanced training, and research opportunities for graduate students and postdocs across Canada! Program information and application details here: islets.ca/create/

Worth a read!
15 bookmark-worthy tools for researchers that cost you nothing and will save you time (& nerves) when researching, writing and publishing. A thread. 🧵 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Thread from my colleague @YCC_YiChunChen on her latest paper demonstrating proinsulin/C peptide as #biomarker for dysfunction of autologous islet transplants in mice and humans.
Delighted to share our work suggesting PI/C ratio as a predictive indicator of insulin dependency in autologous pancreatic islet transplant recipients🙂 (1/🧵)

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. The @BCDiabResNet #diabetes research community is truly world-class and I’m so grateful for the mentors, colleagues and all-around inspiring scientists I’ve worked and trained with along the way. Excited for the next step…stay tuned :)
🔦 @BCDiabResNet Trainee Spotlight: Dr. Heather Denroche (@HDenroche) recently completed her #postdoc in Dr. @BruceVerchere's lab and has started a new role at an emerging #biopharma company, Integrated Nanotherapeutics. Read more: bit.ly/3Of1vay

Having done my PhD in the Kieffer lab watching these cell therapies develop, it is genuinely inspiring to read about patients benefiting from hPSC-based cell therapies for #T1D. Congrats to the authors, teams, and patients who made this happen. cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…

This thread is fantastic ballast against the tide of residential school apologists. Valuable read for allies, who can help educate settlers on a past some deny even happened.

I greatly enjoyed learning about exocrine and how it’s linked to diabetes from @tlmastracci earlier this year. I look forward to reading this latest work from @MastracciLab on exocrine development.
Replying to @MastracciLab
@Mastraccilab publication ALERT! Excited to share our new study in @FASEBorg. We have discovered that mRNA translation, regulated by a unique enzyme deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS), is essential for #exocrine pancreas development. faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Well that was fun! A great group of trainees and learning all about the exocrine pancreas from @tlmastracci was the icing on the cake. Grateful to be part of @CIRTNetwork and for the chance to share my love of islet macrophages.
So enjoyed meeting this awesome group of @CIRTNetwork trainees & chatting all things exocrine. And bravo to @HDenroche on making the complicated topic of islet inflammation so very understandable! #diabetes research in 🇨🇦 will continue to be strong with this group leading the way

Excited to see this work out in preprint. Congrats to all involved! Interesting sex differences in beta cell specific insulin resistance.
Here's a brief blurb following up on our(@JimJohnsonSci) paper available on @biorxivpreprint as of last week entitled 'Beta-cell specific insulin resistance promotes glucose-stimulated insulin hypersecretion'. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
