Alberta British Columbia Islet Workshop 2025

Welcome to the Alberta British Columbia Islet Workshop 2025 meeting website!

The A-BC Islet Workshop will be held February 11-13, 2025 at the Silver Star Mountain Resort in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada.

We would like to extend an invitation to islet scientists and trainees from across Canada & USA to attend the Alberta-British Columbia Islet Workshop 2025 (A-BC). 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. 

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
