The Old Mill Inn

Registration information will

This annual event is open to BBDC members, their trainees, and U of T endocrine residents. The Scientific Day
is designed to provide an opportunity for our members to exchange
scientific information and ideas, and to assist in the development of
collaborative diabetes-related research activities. The
event will focus on the latest diabetes research topics with both
clinical and laboratory applications.
The Scientific Day also provides an opportunity for BBDC trainees to network and present their research. BBDC postdoctoral fellowship and graduate studentship recipients, as well as selected Annual Trainee Awards Competition abstract submitters will present posters of their work. New this year: Twelve pre-selected posters will be judged by Dr. Randy Levinson, Senior Editor of Nature Medicine. The Annual Trainee Awards prize winners will be announced and prizes will be presented to the recipients by Dr. Levinson at the end of the Scientific Day program.
This year's Charles Hollenberg Memorial Lectureship will be delivered by Dr. Gokhan Hotamisligil from the Harvard School of Public Health. The program will also include University of Toronto faculty and staff: Drs. Richard Bazinet, Daniel Drucker, Chee-Tin Christine Lee, James Scholey, and Dan Winer.
