Human Pancreas Analysis Program
The
Human Pancreas Analysis Program
(HPAP)
is performing deep phenotyping of the human endocrine pancreas and its interactions with the immune system. The primary goal is to accumulate, analyze and distribute high value T1D datasets to the diabetes research community. Data from specimens in this database, including RNAseq, islet physiology, clinical data as well as imaging studies are accessible on the
HPAP website
.
We encourage those interested to register for an account to utilize the database. We value any suggestions or feedback you may have on the database. Please send comments to
Paul Kopec

The Russ lab located at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes is looking to fill two postdoc positions. High motivation and competitiveness for postdoc fellowship is required, expertise in either T-cell/thymus or pancreas/beta cell biology or bioinformatics is desired but not necessary. Successful individuals will work on funded projects focusing on human thymus development/function or endocrine differentiation or beta cell generation/maturation using predominantly direct differentiation of patient specific pluripotent stem cells and primary human tissues in conjunction with genome engineering approaches.
Interested applicants should send a motivation letter, a CV with publication list and 2-4 references to
Dr.
Russ Holger
