Networking evening with leading diabetes researcher

The Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute (IHMRI) is inviting you to a Networking Evening next Monday (17 August) with leading diabetes researcher, Associate Professor Jonathan Shaw, from Melbourne’s Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute.

A/Prof Shaw will discuss the major complications of diabetes and draw on the institute’s 14-year “AusDiab” study with 11,000 Australians, as well as other epidemiological studies, to consider whether progress is being made in preventing these complications from reaching severe end-stage forms.

Please see attached for further information on the event (refreshments provided).
