Excited for Endo in Chicago and happy that our lab will be well represented and share our work! Symposium talk, trainee talk, and poster presentation!!
#ADA2026, Grateful to speak at the symposium and proud of our postbacs for their oral and poster presentations. We learned exciting new science, reconnected with colleagues, made new connections, and had a wonderful time!
Excited to be part of this ADA Symposium covering Sex Differences in islet biology and susceptibility to obesity, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes alongside leaders in the field ( Drs. Frank Mauvais-Jarvis, Raghu Mirmia and Susan Ozanne).
Diabetes Day in Minnesota is held annually and serves as a symposium where our trainees can practice presenting their ADA abstracts and presentations!
So many great meetings take place at this time of year, but it's impossible to attend them all, even if you want to. Sending trainees to present their work, however, is important for their growth and professional development! Ms. Tracy Her at ASRI.
IBP's Visscher Annual Symposium is always exciting—not only for the opportunity to hear the outstanding work of our postdocs and graduate students, but also because the keynote speakers are true giants in the field, bringing inspiring science and visionary perspectives.
As the ELAM Fellowship comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey, the growth, and the incredible women I’ve met along the way. Thank you to my LC group, and hoping our connections, support, and friendships will last a lifetime. 💙
Alejandro Lab representation at APS Summit!
Congrats to our young trainees for sharing their work with our community-your curiosity, rigor, and dedication are inspiring. Kudos to their lab supervisors,your guidance and support make this success possible. Tracy Her, Seokwon Jo, Megan Beetch, Brian Akhaphong. Proud of you!
What a great group lunch to reconnect and discuss science, specifically the biology of mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. So grateful my team met Drs @DSLuciani @fkhuynh from UBC. Have an awesome time at APS! 6 posters, and one oral presentation for the Alejandro Lab!
1st Annual Symposium of NIDDK R25 Inter-site Postbac Program in DEM! Big Goal: 25+ PhD or MD/PhD admissions in four years, so far: 2 MSTP and 5 PhD acceptances! Thanks to our mentors, UMN and NIDDK for making this possible! May 1st deadline. postbac.umn.edu/application-pr…
Congrats Dr. Seokwon Jo and @drmegbeetch. Their review paper on "Placental Secretome: Uncovering the Vast Signals Shaping Fetal Metabolic Health Trajectory" is out!!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 📷
Our team looks forward to hosting Dr. Du and engaging in a scientific discussion about DOHaD.
We are looking for 4 talented postbac trainees interested in PhD or MD/PhD Programs! Apply by May 1 to join Cohort 3 and take your next step toward a career in diabetes research! postbac.umn.edu
Ms. Tracy Her's review on "Multiparity as a key variable in metabolism and pregnancy" researchis out!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Thank you, Dr. Rebecca Hull-Meichle for spending time with our faculty and trainees. Your seminar was outstanding, and the work you’re doing to better understand islet cell communication in CF is both impactful and commendable. Thank you for your inspiring visit at UMN!
