- Excited to share our new publications working with Dr. Albert Kim. We developed a stem cell model of glioblastoma (GBM) and uncovered how INSM1 programs a progenitor network that fuels GBM progression www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- (please share) Immediate #postdoc job opening in the Millman lab at WashU Med (St. Louis, MO). Want to develop next-generation pancreatic islets for the study and treatment of diabetes? Email your CV to apply sites.wustl.edu/millmanlab/
- Grateful to be celebrating this holiday season with these amazing scientists! We look forward to further advances in 2026! @WashUMedEndo @WashUDeptMed
- Dr. Veronese-Paniagua and I just published a review examining type 1 diabetes (T1D) as the consequence of genetic susceptibility and environmental viral exposures converging to drive autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells. Check it out here! www.frontiersin.org/journals/end...
- Congratulations #MillmanLab Dr. Marlie Maestas for successfully defending her PhD!
- doing academic research right now
- 🚀 Ready to launch your postdoc journey? Check out WashU’s new Postdoc Passport for everything you need to get started. Register for the virtual event December 4th. postdoc.wustl.edu/prospective-...
- Our qPCR data is now protected by sharks!
- Congratulations #MillmanLab member Dr. Veronese Paniagua for successfully defending his PhD yesterday!
- The #MillmanLab had a great time at the Breakthrough T1D walk yesterday! Happy to share our excitement for science with so many young people and support people living with #T1D!
- The #MillmanLab is excited to be part of Vendor Village at the St. Louis @BreakthroughT1D Walk Sunday October 19! Come visit us to learn more about our cutting-edge research into stem cell-derived therapies for type 1 #diabetes and how we’re working toward a future without T1D.
- The Millman Lab is proud to join the @BreakthroughT1D Walk in St. Louis on Oct 19 to support everyone living with type 1 diabetes. 🔗 Please consider donating to advance T1D research: www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/TR?fr_i...
- Out today in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! We found that coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), associated with increased risk of #T1D, infects all human pancreas cell types, not just beta cells. Great collab w/ Hubert Tse (KUMC). Led by WashU DBBS PhD student Daniel Veronese-Paniagua www.cell.com/cell-reports...
- [please retweet] I’m #hiring! The Millman Lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead an exciting new project focused on vascularized #stemcell-derived islets for #diabetes disease modeling and cell replacement therapy. Email me your CV and cover letter.
- Join us for the 2025 Rachmiel Levine-Arthur Riggs Diabetes Research Symposium. We have an amazing program this year focusing on type 1 #diabetes. We have also extended the abstract submission deadline to Sept 19. Register and submit your abstract a www.levinesymposium.com
- A few days ago marked my 10th anniversary as a faculty member at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. I arrived in 2015 as an Assistant Professor, excited but nervous to start my own lab. Today, I’m a Full Professor, reflecting on an incredible decade. 🧵
- New application note from R&D Systems showcases efficient, reproducible generation of iPSC-derived pancreatic islets based on our 2021 Nature Protocols paper. High purity (75–80% C-peptide+/NKX6.1+) & robust glucose-stimulated insulin secretion www.rndsystems.com/resources/li... #T1D
- I had the privilege to work with several experts in T1D as part of a June 2024 international Expert Forum at ADA organized by the editors of Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia to write a review article on T1D heterogeneity, check it out! diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...
- New #diabetes publication in the NEJM. Sana Biotechnology provides evidence that gene-edited islets survive after transplantation into a patient without immunosuppressing drugs for several months www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
- When you say yes to just one more committee and now you're chairing it
- Meet Allison Kelley, a technician at WashU’s Millman Lab! A Biomedical Engineering grad from UMiami, she authored a new paper in Biotechnology & Bioengineering and is shaping her career at the intersection of science, medicine, and patent law #womeninSTEM sites.wustl.edu/millmanlab/p...

- Big #T1D news! Vertex has published their phase 1–2 trial of stem cell-derived islets (VX880, now called zimislecel). All 12 full-dose patients had reduced insulin need, and 10 no longer require insulin injections. Major step forward to a functional cure! www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
- Looking forward to chairing the #ADA2025 session "Innovating Stem Cell Manufacturing and Engraftment Strategies for Cell Replacement Therapy" with many excellent speakers! Join us at 3:45p in room W196 BC.

- Here at #ADA2025 in Chicago! Looking forward to learning about the latest research in diabetes and catching up with colleagues!
- Will Kodner, a former summer high school student trainee, has rejoined the Millman Lab to continue his training as he prepares to begin his freshman year at WashU in the fall. Welcome back, Will!
- Congrats to Millman Lab trainee Alice Smagorinsky on her selection for the 2025 @dkNET_Info Summer of Data Program! She'll sharpen her skills in data science, rigor & reproducibility, and data management over a 7-week immersive research experience.
- Per Breakthrough T1D: We appreciate Hoda Kotb for opening up about her daughter Hope’s T1D diagnosis. A T1D diagnosis has an impact on the whole family, and the adjustment can be difficult. Thank you, Hoda, for sharing your story and helping raise awareness www.breakthrought1d.org/t1d-resources/
