Nicole Krentz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia. Her research combines human genetics and developmental biology to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic contributions to diabetes risk. The Krentz lab employs innovative approaches, including mouse models of organogenesis, genome editing, and multi-omics analyses to study the development of metabolic cells and the defects that lead to disease. Dr. Krentz received her BSc in Cell Biology and Genetics, followed by a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of British Columbia, where her thesis focused on cell cycle regulation in mouse and human pancreas development. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford, studying the impact of genetic variation on human beta cell development and diabetes risk. Additionally, she trained at Stanford University in the Department of Pediatrics, where she investigated diabetes risk loci with pleiotropic effects across multiple developmental lineages.
