Carol Huang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating beta-cell mass and function, particularly during pregnancy. Dr. Huang's lab has demonstrated that intact prolactin receptor signaling is essential for maintaining normal glucose homeostasis and for the expansion of beta-cell mass during pregnancy. Her current studies examine whether beta-cell neogenesis occurs during pregnancy and identify the signaling pathways needed for increased beta-cell mass. Furthermore, her research explores how pregnancy hormones can enhance glucose homeostasis in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as outcomes related to islet transplantation. Additionally, Dr. Huang is involved in clinical collaborations that investigate the relationship between adipokines, obesity, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases in children with diabetes. She is currently seeking graduate students to join her lab for MSc and PhD opportunities.
