@GannonLab showing us that maternal western diet causes hyperinsulinemia in offspring #islets2023. Very interesting that the effects are so strong so early and seen pre-puberty. Data are in NHP

We are exited to be featuring speakers across all career stages including Dr. Aghazadeh (@Yassi_ag) and Dr. Krentz (@nkrentz) whose labs just opened in June!
Our lab is officially open @ircm_mtl with a gorgeous view of Mont Royal! If you’re around stop by to chat about regenerative medicine, diabetes, or dogs :)

Updated Pre-Print 🚨 Collaboration with @JanelKopp lab and others. Hyperinsulinemia acts through acinar cell insulin receptors to drive obesity-associated pancreatic cancer initiation by promoting digestive enzyme production and inflammation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our latest work on visualizing and interrogating endogenous GLP1R is now out! A massive team effort, particularly grateful to @jotueliaaeste and @BroichhagenJ who perserved getting this over the line. In sum, GPCR signalling in complex tissues is complex, reflecting cell states.

Reason #26 for #lifeinscience: stable employment. Across industry or academia, the unemployment rate for biomedical PhD has been ~2% for years. In academics, contracts are year+ or tenured & while industry folk may move, they always land on their feet. PhDs give lifelong careers

I'm very excited to announce that I've been awarded an @AHAScience Postdoctoral Fellowship!! 🥳🎉 Many thanks to my mentor @GannonLab and my lab (@BetaCellBelle @JulieBurkett9 @townsese) for their encouragement and support, I truly couldn't have done it without you all.
