The Scientific Day provides an opportunity for our members to exchange scientific information and ideas, and to assist in the development of collaborative diabetes-related research activities. It 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. Dr. Randy Levinson, Senior Editor of Nature Medicine and a BBDC member (to be announced) will co-judge ten pre-selected posters for the Annual Trainee Awards competition. The prize winners will be announced and prizes will be presented to the recipients at the end of the Scientific Day.
PROGRAM
The event will focus on the latest diabetes research topics with both clinical and laboratory applications. This year's Charles Hollenberg Memorial Lectureship will be delivered by Dr. David Mangelsdorf, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The program will also include Drs. Andrew Advani, Satya Dash, Amira Klip, Cristina Nostro, and Bruce Perkins.
