Speakers

Keynote Speaker
Professor Lori Sussel
Lori Sussel is the Research Director of the Barbara Davis Diabetes Center (BDC) and Director of the NIDDK-funded University of Colorado Diabetes Research Center. She received her graduate degree from Columbia University Medical School and pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research program involves two major areas of study. One aspect of her research is to understand the biology underlying pancreatic islet cell development and function. These studies have contributed to the ability to grow human islet cells in a dish for cell replacement therapy in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The second aspect of her research is to understand why the immune system targets the insulin producing beta cells within the pancreas with hopes that this knowledge will help prevent disease initiation or protect the beta cells after disease onset. As BDC Research Director, Professor Sussel has also established an internationally recognised interdisciplinary research division focusing on all aspects of T1D research and discovery.

National Diabetes Week 2024
2024-07-14 00:00 - 2024-07-21 23:59 (Australia/Melbourne)
National Diabetes Week runs from 14 – 21 July 2024
Diabetes Australia launched National Diabetes Week in 2015 at the Lightwell in Federation Square, Melbourne, highlighting that three out of four people substantially underestimate the prevalence of diabetes in our community. Diabetes Australia is calling on all Australians to support the campaign and help to raise awareness of diabetes during National Diabetes Week.
National Diabetes Week 2024 – Diabetes Australia
Diabetes Australia wants a future where diabetes can do no harm.
People living with diabetes should be able to access the life-saving technology they need to live well.
This year Diabetes Australia is shining a light on the impact of diabetes tech and what needs to be done to improve access.
Right now in Australia, access to diabetes technology isn’t fair and equitable. Some people have technology like CGM devices and insulin pumps, while others go without. Our fight starts and ends with community. Together, we are raising our voice and fighting for change. Let’s unite in the fight for tech. Get involved.

The ADIPS Annual Scientific Meeting 2024 will be held 23-25 August at the Esplanade Hotel by Rydges, Fremantle following after the ADC Congress (21-23 August) in Perth. Visit the meeting website for further information soon at https://www.adipsasm.org/.
Attending the ADC Congress in Perth? A bus will be available to transport delegates from 1.30pm at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre to the ADIPS ASM in Fremantle!
ADIPS is a unique organisation that brings together healthcare professionals, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of diabetes in pregnancy. Its members and audience include endocrinologists, obstetric physicians, general physicians, obstetricians, neonatologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, general practitioners, diabetes nurses, credentialled diabetes educators, midwives, dieticians and researchers. These health care professionals work within a range of clinical settings from tertiary centres in cities to primary care centres in rural and regional areas spread across the length and breadth of Australia and New Zealand. We are involved in providing a range of care for women with gestational diabetes (that is diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy) as well as for women with pre-existing diabetes right from their preconception planning period. As well as diabetes and obstetric management we screen for complications of diabetes such as retinopathy, renal disease and cardiac disease and complications of pregnancy such as hypertensive disorders for which this cohort of women are at increased risk.
The Annual Scientific Meeting provides a valuable platform to network and interact closely with a broad cohort of healthcare professionals, in a focused setting at the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle over 3 days.
Diabetes in pregnancy as a field of medicine has evolved over the years. Increasing access to technological advances through federal funding and ground-breaking research have provided significant opportunities to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. The conference brings together pre-eminent international and national clinicians and researchers in the field and will provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals to review emerging technologies and new research.
