Insulin is produced by specialized cells in the pancreas known as beta cells. For people living with Type 2 diabetes, they are unable to produce or use enough insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels, leading to severe health complications. Currently, over 460 million people are living with Type 2 diabetes. Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to the general population, but the link between cancer treatment and diabetes progression has yet to be elucidated. The Bruin Lab has shown that exposure to cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, impairs beta cell function and insulin secretion.In this talk, Lahari Basu, PhD candidate in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruinlab.com\/\">the Bruin Lab<\/a> will discuss how understanding the long-term metabolic consequences of chemotherapy will allow for the development of targeted treatment plans to better protect beta cell function and reduce diabetes risk in cancer survivors. <a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.carleton.ca%2Ft%2F563523%2F3569114%2F18588%2F9%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7CGinaDarya%40cunet.carleton.ca%7Cde338174170e4d3fcdd608db0850a0fc%7C6ad91895de06485ebc51fce126cc8530%7C0%7C0%7C638112914607903164%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=RL0zXvKl%2FqeXvv%2F5xJPR5zgGOdeqi25OSfODvfWB0pg%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Register<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science Caf\u00e9 | The Impact of Cisplatin on Diabetes Risk and Beta Cell Function 2 &#8211; 3 p.m. | Feb. 15 | Virtual Event In healthy individuals, a hormone called insulin controls blood sugar levels.
