Diabetes Research in BC: from beta cells to bicycles
Vancouver Diabetes Research Day 2022 will celebrate the accomplishments of our colleagues and the positive impact of their research on people and families living with and at risk for diabetes. The meeting is focused on all aspects of diabetes research - from beta cells to bicycles.
This exciting annual scientific day enables diabetes researchers from across British Columbia to connect, collaborate, and present their research. Graduate trainees are invited to deliver an oral presentation or present a scientific poster highlighting their research project.
