Dr Michelle So and the ATIC Education and Training domain hosts a monthly seminar from both local and international researchers.

The seminar series will showcase the latest research that aims to move beyond insulin replacement therapy for the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), toward prevention and cure. Each seminar will include a short, comprehensive presentation by the invited speaker, with maximum opportunity for questions and interaction during and after the presentation provided. Topics are targeted at health professionals, scientists and others interested in this research area.

Sessions take place via Zoom on the 4th week of the month, on either Thursday or Friday from 1 to 2pm.

Where permission is provided by speakers, the seminars are recorded and will be made available.
