Thanks to everyone for visiting the Marine Biological Laboratory. Please check back for more information on the next meeting.
The Islet Club thanks our corporate sponors:
ALPCO - ALPCO (American Laboratory Products Company) was founded in 1990 as an importer and distributor of high quality research immunoassay kits. Since that time, our primary goals have been to offer a diverse line of assays that appeal to our broad customer base while also providing exceptional customer service and product support.

The BioCurrents Shared Resource (new name, new leadership) has supported development of biomedical instrumentation at the MBL for over 30 years. The resource continues to advance electrical and electrochemical detection for the non-invasive monitoring of cellular physiology and metabolism. Patrons may make use of instrumentation on the MBL campus or may purchase instrumentation. Over the last decade the resource has paired with prominent members of the Diabetes research community to advance instrumentation suited for metabolic studies on single cells and single islets. Contact Dr. Mark Messerli for more information (mmesserli@mbl.edu).
