Please note: The account is run by trainee Ekaterina Filatov from Dr. Francis Lynn’s lab.
Please feel free to message over BlueSky or email through CIRTN.

Our post highlighting studies from the first half of September from the CIRTN labs will come out next week, so stay tuned!

The posts you will see from this account will spotlight publications from our labs, including titles of the published works and PMIDs, but without bias and interpretation. We encourage viewers of our page to share posts and to keep discourse to re-posts.

Hello! Welcome to the CIRTN-R2FIC BlueSky account! Our group focuses on researching pancreatic islet biology and pathology related to islets such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Here you will find bi-weekly updates from the scientists from across Canada that make up CIRTN-R2FIC.
