We are very excited to be at the University of Bristol today to take some of our incredible supporters inside a #Type1diabetes lab 🔬

We’ll be hearing from our scientists Prof @KGillespieBris and Dr @AnnaLongBris, and seeing their #research in action.

[Kathleen Gillespie @KGillespieBris]

Really enjoyed talking at a DUK family meeting in Bristol today. Fantastic engagement and questions. @BOXfamilystudy, @DUK_research

@chloebean Good to see you in your new colours. Hope this first week goes well 😀

What a day it's been! Thank you to everyone who attended the second #DUKPCInsider. We really hope you enjoyed it, and we hope to see you again next year!

Now we use radioimmunoassay formats to measure islet autoantibodies 😁 @C_L_WilliamsUK @BOXfamilystudy

In 1977, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow received a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine—only the second woman in the world to win in this category at that time—for her work in developing the radioimmunoassay technique. #InternationalWomensDay

That’s a wrap! What an action-packed, inspiring three days it’s been at #DUKPC. A big thanks to everyone who attended. It was amazing to see so many diabetes healthcare professionals under one roof. Here’s some of our highlights:

He told her: “A woman in science, they never do anything. They are only good at caring for the home and babies. Forget this dream.”

But Françoise Barré-Sinoussi didn't. And she helped save millions: https://t.co/LGj2g0L6ZA @mosaicscience #InternationalWomensDay

Early identification of progression allows for intervention prior to significant signs and symptoms. @Chloebean presenting her poster at #DUKPC based on @TrialnetUK data

Chris Garett discussing DKA and mental health. Amazing to see the research results of a study which I was a control in (never had an incidence of DKA myself) #DUKPC #GBDoc

[Diabetes UK @DiabetesUK]

A big thanks to everyone who joined us for Day 2 of #DUKPC – it's been another amazing day. Time to get some rest before the final day of the event. We're looking forward to meeting more diabetes healthcare professionals from around the world tomorrow!

Looking totally overexcited by the 'exciting' posters, no longer packaged in brown paper

Great to see Prof. Maggie Shepherd receive the Arnold Bloom Lecture. And to hear her talk underlining the importance of considering genetic forms of diabetes. #dukpc2019

[Hello my name is Chloe 😁 @chloebean]

Sian's presenting her work on new ways of detecting insulin autoantibodies using samples from the @BOXfamilystudy. This work wouldn't have been possible with out the wealth of samples the participants have provided. #DUKPC

[Anna Long @AnnaLongBris]

Thanks to @DiabetesUK & @JDRF for their support. Really excited to be doing this work!

[Kathleen Gillespie @KGillespieBris]

Great article in Balance on Anna Long's joint Diabetes UK/JDRF RD Lawrence Fellowship. Looking forward to the next 5 years! @AnnaLongBris, @BOXfamilystudy, @DUK_research, @JDRFResearch, @BristolIandI
