#yearinreview Four Newly Minted PhDs from @gcb-umasschan.bsky.social 👏🎉 Congratulations to Sun-Young Lim (J. Wang lab), Kate Korobkina (Guertin lab), Jack Huey & Jiang Min (Maehr & Brehm labs) who each completed their research projects at the @umasschan.bsky.social Diabetes Center of Excellence! 🔬

#YearinReview Our Stem Cell (SC) Differentiation Core is optimizing SC islets for studies with @umasschan.bsky.social, @thejacksonlab.bsky.social, @hsph.harvard.edu & @utoronto.ca, led by Dr. David Harlan, with the goal of transplanting them into people with #tT1D without immunosuppressive drugs! 🔬

#YearInReview After 30+ years, Dale Greiner, PhD, stepped down as DCOE co-director @UMassChan over the summer. Michael Brehm, PhD, joined David Harlan, MD, to lead our #T1D #research forward—while Dr. Greiner remains actively engaged in the science he helped shape. 🔬

PhD candidate Nicolai Hathiramani, who was diagnosed with #T1D as a young boy, is investigating for his thesis project, new ways to help pancreatic beta cells survive & thrive post transplantation. #diabetesresearch @umasschan-gsbc.bsky.social

November is #DiabetesAwarenessMonth and we all share a mission for a world free of insulin-dependent diabetes! Our #T1DResearch @umasschan.bsky.social is centered around a cell-replacement therapy to eliminate the need for #insulin in people with #type1diabetes.

Dr. Myoung Sook Han’s pancreatic research reveals JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) is vital for beta-cell survival and division. Modulating this stress-response pathway could lead to new treatments to regenerate insulin-producing cells in type 1 & type 2 diabetes. 🔬💡

Congrats to Jessica Spinelli, PhD, named an HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar! The Brehm & Spinelli labs are investigating new ways to protect human insulin-producing beta cells before transplantation. Early results look promising! 🔬 www.umassmed.edu/dcoe/diabete...
