I’m excited to share an article I wrote for The Conversation (The Conversation Canada) with Jenny Bruin regarding the increased risk for T2D South Asians face. Feel free to check it out: theconversation.com/why-south-asia…

Had a wonderful experience working on this with Diabetes Action Can. and my peers in the Canadian Islet Research and Training Network ! So glad we could highlight some amazing accomplishments in islet biology this past year and valuable patient partner perspectives

Thank you to Diabetes Canada for funding our project studying the off-target effects of a chemotherapeutic drug on beta cells. This work is being led by an amazing PhD student Lahari Basu and we'll be collaborating with Carleton Science co-applicants, @McKay_Lab and Melissa Chee.
