DREAM

Training

DREAM investigators provide a range of training opportunities for students, ranging from summer studentships for undergraduate students to Post Doctoral training.

Training Environment for DREAM Trainees

This exciting program offers a unique opportunity for students to collaborate across various academic disciplines. Through a seminar series, annual symposium, hands-on laboratory experience and mentorship by experts in pediatric diabetes, you’ll gain a deep understanding of diabetes from multiple perspectives. These range from biology to clinical science, public health and patient perspectives. We use multidisciplinary approaches that span rodent models, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology and bioinformatics in the fundamental research labs as well as clinical cohort studies, trials and epidemiology in the clinical research labs. You’ll work alongside fellow students, clinical and fundamental research scientists using team science to tackle the complex challenges of diabetes research.

Our researchers belong to a range of academic programs.
