Adria is a PhD student in Prof Rory Duncan´s research lab. His PhD aims to study the release of insulin at the level of intracellular granule pools in so-called β-Cells in situ within pancreatic islets, before and after transplant, using mouse models and human donor islets, combined with high-resolution 4-D microscopy and molecular biology. He is particularly interested in science outreach for general public.
