A Scientific Symposium: In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the University of Toronto’s discovery of insulin

The Scientific Symposium will provide  comprehensive updates on the latest advances in diabetes treatment and management through a series of online educational sessions and live, online, panel discussions with the experts. Educational sessions will include the latest information on the management of diabetes and its complications, practical tips and proven strategies for improving patient care, and translation of the latest diabetes research into clinical practice. These sessions will be recorded for posterity and retained on the Scientific Symposium website as an educational repository for long term access referencing.

In keeping with the spirit of Banting and Best, who sold the American patents for insulin to the University of Toronto for $1.00 each, the symposium materials will be complimentary.

Department of Medicine associate professor and endocrinology clinician-scientist, Lorraine Lipscombe, highlights the exciting plans we have for celebrating a century of health innovation. Online lectures start in January 2021 and the two-day Scientific Symposium will be held on April 15 & 16, 2021.
