Dr. Christine Doucette, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba in the department of Physiology & Pathophysiology and a Senior Scientist at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM). At CHRIM, Dr. Doucette is an active member of the “DREAM” (Diabetes Research Envisioned and Accomplished in Manitoba) theme and runs a productive biomedical research program focused on a number of aspects of beta cell and islet biology. Current projects and research interests include understanding the role of the circadian clock in the regulation of beta cell metabolism and diurnal insulin secretion capacity, determining how the maternal environment influences offspring islet development and function, and examining how a variant of the HNF-1 gene interacts with environmental factors, specifically diet, to influence the timing and severity of type 2 diabetes (T2D) onset in youth. Dr. Doucette’s research program is nationally funded by CIHR and NSERC and she was the recipient of the Dr. John A. Moorhouse Fellowship in Diabetes Research at the University of Manitoba.
