Explore the role genes play in diabetes with Itahisa Marcelino, a researcher at the Universidad de La Laguna. The talk looks at what the genetic history of the Canary Islands’ population may reveal about how the disease develops and progresses, and how researchers study it alongside environmental factors. The talk is part of Hecha en Canarias and takes place at 18:00 on 20 November at Biblioteca Pública Municipal Adrián Alemán de Armas.
