November 18, 2024

Our 11th Annual Vancouver Diabetes Research Day (VDRD) was held on November 14, 2024 to mark the World Health Organization recognition of World Diabetes Day 2024. The event was held on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver at the UBC Alumni Centre and the Life Sciences Institute.

Our annual academic scientific day is aimed at inter provincial engagement. The event included researchers from across both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses, Simon Fraser University and the University of Northern British Columbia.  VDRD 2024 was our largest research day and attracted 158 delegates and included 14 oral trainee presentations and 40 poster presentations and 2 invited faculty presentations.

We are grateful to our Keynote Speaker Dr Anna Gloyn, D Phil from Stanford University and Invited Speaker Jeeyeon Cha, MD, PhD from Vanderbilt University.
