The pancreas functions in digestion and maintenance of normal blood sugar. We study genes/pathways regulating development and function of pancreas cell types.

Great day for the lab yesterday! MPI grant with Stoffers and Soleimanpour labs scored in the fundable range, paper accepted to AJP Endo &Metab, one student given permission to defend, another student chosen as SEC scholar from Vanderbilt Congrats to ali! We should play Powerball.

@LinnemannLab Oh my gosh! I love this!

[GannonLab @GannonLab]

So excited for my former graduate student Kathryn who just got engaged! It was great to catch up with her at lunch today. She has a hugely successful career in science writing. I am so proud of her!

How do you unwind after a week of great science and career development workshops? I went to hear the music of Led Zeppelin outdoors downtown Nashville with the Nashville Symphony!

Enjoying our time at the Islet Study Group in Vancouver! The University of British Columbia has been a great host!!

[Islet Study Group Meeting 2023 @IsletsInVan2023]

We're learning about 'Targeting the opposing roles of PGE2 receptors, EP3 and EP4, in the pathogenesis of type one diabetes' from @JulieBurkett9 (PhD candidate 🙃 in the @GannonLab )

@GannonLab showing us that maternal western diet causes hyperinsulinemia in offspring #islets2023. Very interesting that the effects are so strong so early and seen pre-puberty. Data are in NHP

@SoleimanpourLab @vaibhavsidarala @JinLi33877470 Thank you for the invitation Scott! It was such an honor to give the Fajans lecture and so be back at Michigan with all of my wonderful friends and colleagues!

[GannonLab @GannonLab]

@JulesBass6 Oh my gosh! I think I am going to have nightmares!

[GannonLab @GannonLab]

Recently published paper from our group...part of a larger consortium studying effects of maternal overnutrition on metabolic health of the offspring. So grateful to be part of this important project! https://t.co/uAebJhyni5

[Islet Study Group Meeting 2023 @IsletsInVan2023]

We are exited to be featuring speakers across all career stages including Dr. Aghazadeh (@Yassi_ag) and Dr. Krentz (@nkrentz) whose labs just opened in June!

[GannonLab @GannonLab]

@ddwitzz Definitely do it! I've reached out to collaborate with people I've never met...have had great collaborations and publications and still never met!!

Updated Pre-Print 🚨 Collaboration with @JanelKopp lab and others. Hyperinsulinemia acts through acinar cell insulin receptors to drive obesity-associated pancreatic cancer initiation by promoting digestive enzyme production and inflammation https://t.co/3XbKXZIYlj

@EmilynAlejandro @BetaCellBelle You did an awesome job as organizer and host!!

[Emilyn @EmilynAlejandro]

Dr. Gannon @GannonLab receiving the Lacy Medal for her meritorious career achievement in islet biology! Her lecture described her journey in science and many lab achievements and her rich mentoring history sprinkled with pearls of wisdom! What a gift to hear her sing! #MIC2023
