This will likely be my last thread here as I’m moving over to Bluesky (https://t.co/WHZdpadTP3), but wanted to share exciting work from former PDF @Amurtab@UAlberta_Pharm ; https://t.co/lcQBbYQrc9
Super excited for @SaedChristina for landing the @CIHR_IRSC postdoctoral fellowship and finishing her PhD at the same time! Way to go, so proud of you!
New systematic review and meta-analysis: RCT data from 16,839 placebo- and 16,550 semaglutide-treated patients and 13,330 real-world study patients show no association between semaglutide and pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer or all neoplasms👍🏻

I’m pleased to share our recent review published in @NatureCVR about Ketones and the Cardiovascular System. A pleasure working on this with my friend and colleague, Gary Lopaschuk @LopaschukLab@UAlberta_FoMD@DyckLab

Thank you @CIHR_ICRH for giving me this opportunity to pursue my passion and make a difference. This would have been impossible without the support of my brilliant mentor. I am forever grateful to @JussherLab for reshaping me into the person and researcher I am today.
some very exciting news to share that @Amurtab received a fellowship from @CIHR_IRSC and we look forward to sharing his current work on developing new pharmaceutical agents that decrease #ketone#oxidation to promote #glucose_lowering in the future!

Just got back from #Seoul and missed this coming online, but really excited to share our lab’s latest research looking at the possible #repurposing of #diphenylbutylpiperidines for the treatment of #T2D https://t.co/nvNYeqLkCQ
Congrats to @amurtab !!!
I have to admit when first learning of the Michaelis-Menten equation decades ago (in Zimbabwe), my mental image was of two white guys. Never stopped to even consider a woman biochemist from this era! Pretty sure the teacher had no idea either.
Congratulations to our @AlbertaDiabetes members and their teams who were awarded funding for the 2021 Spring @CIHR_IRSC Project Grant competition!
