John Stafford Lab - The high-performance liquid chromatography machine used by Dr. Stafford's lab to separate lipoproteins.
Poster Prize Awardees - Left to right: Jennifer M. Walker, Ph.D. “Best poster postdoctoral fellow in Basic Science Research” / Nicholas C. Vierra, "best poster Graduate Student in Basic Science Research” / Lyndsay A. Nelson, Ph.D., "Best Poster Postdoctoral Fellow in Clinical Research"
Danielle Dean - Danielle studies signals that regulate the growth of alpha cells in the pancreatic islet. Recently, she discovered that a serum factor in mice with interrupted glucagon signaling stimulates both human and mouse alpha cell proliferation and she is characterizing how alpha cells respond to this factor.
Zebra Fish Colony - We combine genetic, pharmacological, and imaging techniques to identify genes essential for the compensatory responses and to define their roles in diabetes.
