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. 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. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”0px” custom_padding=”0px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”20px” ol_item_indent=”20px” module_id=”post-body” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Calibri Regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#505358″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”24px” link_font=”||||on|||#89BBE5|” link_text_color=”#89BBE5″ min_height=”219px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||80px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||48px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Thank you Nadine, Vivien and Laura for being on board and for all the important work you do!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n And you, dear followers, see you for the next edition of our DCB newsletter!<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” image_icon_background_color=”#89BBE5″ icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”16px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”22px” body_link_text_color=”#89BBE5″ background_color=”#FAFAFA” image_icon_custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px|false|false” custom_margin=”0px|0px|80px|0px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|0px|80px|0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||48px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_blurb_content=”max-width: 100% !important;||padding: 16px;” border_radii_image=”on|100px|100px|100px|100px” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
