Professor Paul Squires from the School of Life Sciences will lead the next LIH Research Development Seminar entitled, Conversations between cells, tissues and research groups: it’s good to talk
Wednesday 25th January 2017
12pm-2pm*
Minerva Building, Room MB3203
My area of interest is in diabetes and our research examines how cells interact with each other in health and disease. The Group studies cell-to-cell contact, cell-cell coupling and cell-to-cell communication in pancreatic islets, where the conversation between multiple cell types is essential for efficient insulin secretion, and in cells of the diabetic kidney, where a loss in appropriate cell-cell or cell-substrate contact underlies progression of disease. By examining the way cells cooperate to ensure appropriate function, we can learn a lot about the benefits of collaboration within an interdisciplinary team. These types of conversations underpin a healthy research culture that the Molecular Basis of Disease Group would like to explore within the LIH
The LIH extends a warm welcome to all interested in this exciting area.
