Head of Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics @imperialcollege. Interested in spatiotemporal regulation of signalling of metabolically relevant GPCRs.
Lectureship position available in my section @ImperialMDR
Are you interested in developing a research programme in cell biology of diabetes? Do you work in pancreatic islets and/or other metabolically relevant cell types? We have a Lectureship position opening to establish a lab in our Section at @imperialcollege (link to apply below)
The GLP1 discontinuation rate in the real world is alarmingly high. 64% at 1 year and 84% at 2 years in those without diabetes‼️ Risk factors of discontinuation include lower income, older age, lower weight loss, cost, among others. 🔬Further research into the predictors of…
