AIDPIT 2010 POSTER PRIZE WINNERS

Congratulations to our poster prize winners from the 29th AIDPIT workshop in January 2010:

Rachel Besser et al. for Urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio is a novel non invasive alternative to the inpatient mixed meal tolerance test in type 1 diabetes. (PDF)

Klara Zacharovova et al. for G Transplantation of double labelled rat islets - superparamagnetic iron (SPIO) nanoparticles in combination with CellTrackerTM Green CMFDA. (PDF)

We also saw several excellent oral and poster presentations by young investigators in the field.
