2nd ANNUAL UW-MADISON DIABETES RESEARCH DAY
Monday, March 15, 2021 and Tuesday, March 16, 2021, from 9am–12pm each day.
Due to COVID restrictions, this event was held virtually and had a limited schedule. In lieu of a poster session, we selected abstracts from the cancelled 2020 Diabetes Day for flash-talks. We did not take abstract submissions for the event this year.
Award Winners:
Best Junior Faculty Talk: Brian Parks
Best Postdoc Talk: Jennifer Stancill
Best Graduate Student Talk: Raghav Jain
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
MONDAY, MARCH 15TH, 2021
Dr. Olayinka Shiyanbola
Associate Professor, UW Madison
Talk title: “Partnering with Peers in the Community to Improve Diabetes Medication Adherence for African Americans”
Dr. Shiyanbola’s research examines patient perceptions in medication use and its impact on medication adherence, health literacy and the elimination of health disparities. Specifically, Dr. Shiyanbola studies the perceptions of illness and medicines among underserved populations.
TUESDAY, MARCH 16TH, 2021
Dr. Rudolph L. Leibel
Professor, Columbia University;
Co-Director, Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center
Talk title: “‘Know then thyself ….’: Studies of metabolic physiology in humans and surrogates.”
Dr. Leibel’s research focuses on the genetics of obesity and non-insulin dependent diabetes. His research group is defining the physiological bases by which specific signaling networks such as leptin signaling regulate body size and composition.
