originally from Italy, but currently residing in Switzerland as she pursues her PhD in the field of diabetes research. Laura\u2019s journey with diabetes began at the age of 14 when she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Her diagnosis ignited a spark within her for scientific exploration and a deep fascination with the intricate workings of the human body.<\/p>\n Driven by this passion, she embarked on a path of academic excellence, majoring in Medical Biotechnology at university. Her thirst for knowledge led her to pursue a doctoral degree, specializing in diabetes research. Laura is profoundly committed to her work in the lab, where she engages in cutting-edgepre-clinical research. Her ultimate goal is to make a substantial and positive impact on thelives of those affected by diabetes.<\/p>\n Recently she has recognized the immense value in sharing experiences and insights with others who face the same challenges. This newfound awareness has inspired her to extend her knowledge and experiences beyond the laboratory. She believes in the transformative power of shared experiences and hopes to harness it for the betterment of individuals living with diabetes.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” border_width_all=”0.5px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”margin-bottom: 20px;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”margin-bottom: 20px;”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.dcberne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nadine_schenker.jpg” alt=”Nadine Schenker DCB Community” title_text=”nadine_schenker” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_css_main_element=”aspect-ratio: 1\/1;” border_width_bottom=”0.5px” border_color_bottom=”#505358″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Calibro Bold||||||||” text_text_color=”#505358″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”22px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Switzerland<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Avant Regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#505358″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”24px” custom_margin=”0px|30px|8px|30px|false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Nadine Schenk<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”4px||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”linkedin” url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nadine-schenk-832203349\/” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”14px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#89BBE5″ background_enable_color=”on” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”1px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|19px|19px|19px|19px” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#89BBE5″ global_colors_info=”{}” background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” background_enable_color__hover=”on” icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” icon_color__hover=”#89BBE5″ follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]linkedin[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][et_pb_toggle open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#000000″ toggle_icon=”3||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”24px” open_icon_color=”#89BBE5″ open_toggle_icon=”2||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”24px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”22px” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”15px||35px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_toggle_title=”width: 53%;” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_toggle_title_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_toggle_title_tablet=”width: 51%;” custom_css_toggle_title_phone=”width: 52%;” sticky_enabled=”0″ locked=”off”]<\/p>\n Nadine was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2011.
