📣Students and postdocs, consider Canadian universities for grad studies! Tuition is typically offset by teaching assistantships for seminars/labs, and applying is as simple as making contact with a PI to start. If you’re in the field of #T1D - reach out if you’d like us to help make a connection!

Registries are such a critical accelerator for research! If you or someone you know in Canada lives with #T1D, please consider being a part of the BETTER Registry!

I have funding through at least 2031 for postdoctoral researchers with expertise in islet biology or cell-based therapies for, or modelling of, diabetes. Bring your expertise to a country that values it. 🇨🇦 Contact info on my website.

Early-detection for #T1D is ramping up globally and we have seen the first systemwide (non-research) mandate from Italy for genpop type 1 diabetes screening. To find out what is happening in Canada, check out canscreent1d.ca -> a $12M research consortium funded by Breakthrough T1D and CIHR INMD.

When the days are long or the research hurdles are big, it’s powerful to remember what we are working towards…. (this video expertly created by my colleagues at Breakthrough T1D UK)

Breakthrough T1D Canada has worked very closely with CIHR INMD over the past 6 years to double funding to #T1D research - $60M jointly spent since 2019!! Now they are looking for a new Scientific Director - check it out here if you’re interested! www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/54128.html

Great to see this high impact publication on the use of Semaglutide (Ozempic) in #T1D from a fantastic group of researchers in Montreal. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Re-upping this paper which is ‘out’ now in this month’s issue of Cell Metab. Working with a fantastic group of collaborators, we provide a resource for exploring human islet variation in health and diabetes. https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(24)00365-6

Exciting results today from Sana Bio. Only n=1 and very preliminary, but fantastic to see allogenic (deceased donor) islet efficacy and safety WITHOUT immunosuppression! It will be fantastic to see this applied to stem cell-derived islets. www.globenewswire.com/news-release...
