The BC Diabetes Research Network invites you to listen to our latest episode of our podcast: “Diabetes: From Beta Cells to Bicycles“:
Season 3-Episode 4-Dr Annalijn Conklin
While genetics play a role in type 2 diabetes development and risk, so too does the world around us. Everything from minimum wage, to government policy, to how we manage major life transitions can impact our T2D risk. Epidemiologist Dr. Annalijn Conklin explains their work using factors like these to try and improve health outcomes.
Dr. Conklin is an associate professor at UBC in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and leads a program of social epidemiology and metabolic outcomes research (SEMOR) to support healthy aging and reduce heart health inequities in women in Canada.
