Chapter 1 General Introduction

The HumanIslets tool houses data collected from or associated with human islets procured by the University of Alberta. The data includes clinical metadata

I envision a branching timeline, so that you can visualize everything that happened to an islet sample prior to the collection of each data type. Here is a rough outline of steps (I know it’s incomplete/wrong - will look at some of the guides on the IsletCore website to better sketch out)

  1. Pancreas procurement
  2. Shipping to Edmonton
  3. Islet isolation (more details here - I assume many/multiple steps)
  4. GSIS outcomes
  5. Other outcomes at UofA
  6. Shipping to other labs for seahorse, perifusion, omics
  7. Shipping to other labs (not in project)
