A-BC ISLET WORKSHOP 2023

A-BC Islet Workshop - Trainee-Focused Islet Biology Conference

Welcome

We would like to extend an invitation to scientists and trainees from across Canada to attend the A-BC Islet Workshop 2023.

The meeting will be held February 15 & 16, 2023 at the Silver Star Mountain Resort in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.

The A-BC Islet Workshop meeting has been organized by the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia since 2012. This joint workshop began in response to a need to provide a targeted scientific meeting for islet scientists and trainees to share their research. The meeting format is designed to give trainees experience delivering oral presentations.

Topics to be covered:

• Islet Transplantation and Encapsulation
• Islet Inflammation and Immunology
• Insulin Secretion and Islet Biology
• Stem Cells and Beta Cell Development
• Beta Cell Growth and Death
• New Techniques and Methodologies

Scientific Organizing Committee:

Chair, Jim Johnson, PhD University of British Columbia

Christine Doucette, PhD University of Manitoba

Peter Light, PhD University of Alberta

Francis Lynn, PhD University of British Columbia

Patrick MacDonald, PhD University of Alberta

Bruce Verchere, PhD University of British Columbia
