Dr. Ananda Basu has been appointed to the UAB Comprehensive Diabetes Center leadership team as associate director. @UAB_endocrine @UABHeersink uab.edu/medicine/news/…
New preprint from our lab! Tomosyn-2 Regulates Postnatal β-Cell Expansion and Insulin Secretion to Maintain Glucose Homeostasis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are recruiting up to 10 diabetes research investigators for a major strategic portfolio increase across basic, translational, clinical, and population sciences, including a clinical trialist. Join our team! 🤝uab.edu/medicine/diabe…
We so enjoyed hosting Dr. Dale Abel for the UAB Diabetes Plenary Lecture. What a treat to welcome him to campus to share his research with our faculty and trainees! @UCLAHealth @DOM_UCLA @UABCDIB
From Les Satin @UMich “KATP channel activity and slow oscillations in pancreatic beta cells are regulated by mitochondrial ATP production” physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
We’re pleased to host Dr. Rebecca Haeusler from @nbdiabetes at @Columbia! She spoke with our trainees and also led the Diabetes Plenary Lecture. #diabetes #research

Elsevier's revenue: £2.9 billion. WTF? We scientists produce the content for manuscripts and review for free. Then we pay huge fees for open access publishing. Science should not be business. What on earth can we do to fight against this? theguardian.com/science/2023/m…
A publication from our lab by a talented student, Haifa, shows that the loss of brain angiogenesis inhibitor-3 (BAI3) GPCR in mice regulates adaptive thermogenesis by enhancing energy expenditure. Congrats! mdpi.com/2320852 #mdpimetabolites. @AdhesionGPCR @UABDiabetes
Excited to share our latest work that was published today in FASEB Journal! faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NATIIJXA…
Thank you Andrew Escayg for including us in this study! Generation and initial characterization of mice lacking full-length BAI3 (ADGRB3) expression. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37337931/
#Conference Alert! 🚨 @UAB_endocrine, alongside the Division of Endocrine Surgery, will host an Endocrinology Update Conference on Aug 19 at 8 a.m. at the Hilton Birmingham at UAB. @UABHeersink @uabmedicine @UABSurgery See speakers and register: uab.edu/medicine/news/…

Check out our recent review article on the Noncanonical Regulation of cAMP-Dependent Insulin Secretion and Its Implications in Type 2 Diabetes. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37358504/
About 20 years ago, we developed a new mouse model system to study type 2 diabetes. Here we review >100 articles that describe discoveries from that model, including some dramatic developments in diabetic nephropathy. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our new donor wall sits in the heart of the center, surrounded by dynamic researchers. We're incredibly grateful to each supporter of @UABDiabetes! 💚 @UABHeersink #diabetes
Pre print from our lab identifying inhibitory complex of insulin granule fusion! Synaptotagmin-9 and Tomosyn-1 molecular complex regulates Stx1A SNAREs to inhibit insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110….
Pre-print is out! It has been a great collaboration with Hatzoglou lab and other colleagues. Adaptation to chronic ER stress enforces pancreatic β-cell plasticity biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
