Congratulations to Dr. @KiraScientist who successfully defended her PhD dissertation some days ago. Kira has been a model student and we look forward to seeing more of her brilliant science in the future.

[OHIO Translational Biomedical Sciences Program @OhioU_TBS]

Our student Nick won for his project studying the early stages of type 2 diabetes in the @NunemakerLab. This is the second time a TBS student came in first place after @patriciamora_ou won in 2020!

Congratulations to graduate students from our lab: Nick Whitticar and Ibi Max-Harry @mercy__max who recieved the John Kopchick research Fellowship award for the second time! Many thanks to the Kopchicks @KopchickLab_OU for their continuous support and legacy!

[Kopchick Lab @KopchickLab_OU]

The next talk is “Developing an Organ-on-a-Chip Platform to Mimic the Pancreas-Liver Endocrine Axis” by Nicholas Whitticar in the @OhioU_TBS program

[Kopchick Lab @KopchickLab_OU]

“The Role of C-Terminus and Nuclear Localization Sequence of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein in Pancreatic Islet Morphology and Glucose Homeostasis” by @mercy__max is next!!

[Heritage College @OUHCOM]

Kudos to Craig Nunemaker, #HCOM assoc prof, & chemistry prof Stephen Bermeier for their @NIH grant to develop a small molecule therapeutic to treat 2 issues in Type 1 diabetes. @NunemakerLab @Bobcatsdiscover #diabetesresearch
