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!

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

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)🤣

Congratulations to Jada White who was named one of @IUPUI’s Top 100!!! In addition to her studies and extracurricular activities, Jada has been working in the @MastracciLab since her freshman year! Congrats Jada 🎉

@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 diabetesjournals.org/diabete…

This is the proper way to celebrate a new @MastracciLab paper accepted at Diabetes, right?? 🎉🎉

What a fun way to celebrate #WorldDiabetesDay. The @MastracciLab had such an enjoyable breakfast with Dr Susan Bonner-Weir from @JoslinDiabetes . Thank you for the stimulating discussion and now for the thought provoking talk — we have alot of new experiments to do!

What a fun way to end a super week of science at the @GordonConf on Polyamines. @IUPUIBiology and @MastracciLab PhD student Mollie Shinkle was chosen for a talk at both the GRS and GRC…and she rocked them both!! The future is super exciting #science #polyamigos – at New Hampshire, USA

Hello #Minneapolis! The @MastracciLab is here and ready for #MIC2023! We’re excited for some deep and thought provoking #islet biology #research – at Minneapolis, MN

New #publication from @MastracciLab! We used #patient derived cell lines and a brain specific mutant mouse model to decipher the cellular changes that result form teh #RareDisease #DHPS deficiency. This study was years in the making -- excited for all to read #diseaseresearch

What an amazing week @GordonConf on #pancreatic diseases -great to reconnect with so many friends. thanks to Paco Real & Nabeel Bardeesy for the invite to speak. And very proud that @MastracciLab PhD candidate Danielle Overton was also selected to give a talk! Can’t wait for 2025

What amazing trainees in the @MastracciLab and @BerbariLab (and the honourary members from other labs ☺️). Working with these folks is truly a joy — one of the main reasons I love coming to work everyday. The cake, cupcakes and tarts were also delightful!! Feeling the ❤️

Congratulations Catharina @CatVillaca on being awarded a @DiabetesRsrch grant! I know this is just the beginning of a very successful career for you…and a great way to start off our year of 1000 data points ☺️ #proudPI @IUPUIBiology @IUPUIScience @IUSweetTweets @MastracciLab

This was a fun meeting to organize! We have compiled a summary of the important talks from the meeting — give it a read! #pancreas #crosstalk

@MastracciLab is hiring! we are looking for a motivated laboratory technician to join our group in the exciting research environment of Indiana University. Please RT :) @IUPUIBiology @IUPUI @IUSweetTweets Job ID: 303973 hrms.indiana.edu/psc/PH1PRD_…

Yesterday Marcus, Salwa & Foster, senior undergrads @IUPUI presented their research projects. I’m so proud of what they’ve accomplished & impressed by the mentorship of Danielle, Dorian, Tanner & Craig. Feeling pretty lucky i get to work this amazing group of humans!
