My brain is still reeling from #MIC2024! One of the best #islet #trainee meetings in the country! If you’re in the midwest or are Midwest adjacent, you definitely need to come to this conference! Also bc (spoiler alert) next year if you do, you’ll get to @VisitIndy!

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

Rocked it 🎉🎉 well done @CatVillaca
It’s been such a great couple days of science @UChicagoMed for #MIC2024

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

We have a new @MastracciLab graduate! Congrats Caleb Rutan on passing your MS thesis defense 🎉🎉🎉

I am also so grateful to all past and present lab members (not all shown) - you make it a joy to come to work every day (even when you photoshop my head in to strange pictures)🤣

Interested in pancreatic #crosstalk!? Here’s our review of the current field

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

New article from @MastracciLab. @CatVillaca did a great job discussing
Pancreatic #Crosstalk in the Disease Setting: Understanding the Impact of #Exocrine Disease on #Endocrine Function.
Definitely worth the read!! Pls RT

@DanielJDrucker beat me to it! Our study in @Diabetes_ADA is online! Spoiler alert…we found an mRNA #translation mechanism in the #beta cell that regulates “on-demand” protein synthesis. Coolest finding-#Insulin is translationally regulated! Pls read & RT
