We are excited to welcome you to our 33rd Annual Scientific Day. Our annual event provides an opportunity for BBDC members, their trainees, and U of T endocrine residents to exchange scientific information and ideas and for the development of collaborative diabetes-related research. It also provides a valuable opportunity for trainees to network and share their work with their colleagues in the BBDC community.

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. Randy J. Seeley, Professor of Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Nutritional Sciences, and Director of the Michigan Nutrition Obesity Research Center, University of Michigan. The program will also include U of T faculty Drs. Kacey Prentice, Ian Rogers, and Walter Swardfager, and postdoctoral fellows Drs. Adriana Migliorini, Ayodele Odutayo, and Majid Mufaqam Syed Abdul.

Senior Editor of Nature Metabolism, Dr. Ashley Castellanos-Jankiewicz, will co-judge selected posters along with Dr. Sara Nunes Vasconcelos for the Patricia L. Brubaker Trainee Awards competition. The prize winners will be announced at the end of the Scientific Day. (Dr. Castellanos-Jankiewicz will also be giving a special seminar on Publishing in Nature Metabolism on May 9 from 4-5 p.m. See seminar details.)
