Last day in the lab for my amazing tech Gabriel Brawerman, we’re going to miss you! So proud of what we’ve done and very grateful for the past 2 years. Congrats 🎉 on your next chapter! #newPI




Thrilled and honoured to receive Diabetes Canada funding for our project to delineate novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for #senescence in human beta cells for the benefit of those affected by #T1D Congrats to Canadian Islet Research and Training Network colleagues and others who also received funding!


Thrilled to tackle questions around heterogeneity & precision med in #T1D! Grateful to lead team with Guy Rutter1, Pere Santamaria and Herb Gaisano! Congrats🎉 & grateful to join team led by Elizabeth Rideout (@ejrideout.bsky.social) with Dan Luciani Jim Johnson, PhD Bruce Verchere THX to all Patient Partners!


Very grateful to receive the Allen Rouse Basic Science Career Award from the Manitoba Medical Services Foundation this year! 🎉 Excited to continue my career CHRIM U of M Rady Faculty DREAM_Theme


Pleased to have contributed to this review for @Diabetologia led by Peter Thompson with #herbgaisano #peresantamaria and #jasminepipella to provide our take on the importance of beta cell heterogeneity in this context Centre de recherche du CHUM HIRN Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction

So proud 🥳🎉of my grad student Jasmine Pipella as she delivered fantastic presentations of her work on anti-CD3 therapy in #T1D Diabetes Canada vascular2023 and Canadian Islet Research and Training Network 2nd annual meetings in beautiful #Montreal Well done!!


I am delighted to announce that our new study led by Feyza Engin members Hugo Lee and Semra Sahin is now out in Cell Metabolism! Stress-induced β cell early senescence confers protection against type 1 diabetes: cell.com/cell-metabolis…

We're recruiting! Thompsonlab.ca DREAM_Theme CHRIM University of Manitoba in #Winnipeg is seeking a talented postdoctoral scholar to work on mouse models to study beta cell stress and autoimmunity in #T1D for early 2024! Please RT!




Very nice and interesting work by Yuval Dor and colleagues on human beta cell senescence! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Of note: P16-high senescent beta cells that accumulate in aging do not have SASP, consistent with our opinion in Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism


Enjoyed an amazing CIHR Breakthrough T1D Canada in person team mtgand knowledge exchange event for our precision medicine in #T1D grant last week w/ this fantastic team!! Guy Rutter1, Priscila Carapeto, Herb Gaisano, Fei Kang, Dana Greenberg, Pere Santamaria, Giada Ostinelli and Shadai Salazar
