Reminder today we have PanKbase office hours webinar. A chance to learn about the resource or to bring your comments, questions, or concerns. We want to hear it all. See you all there at noon!

Curious about PanKbase? Already using it and have thoughts to share? Wondering how the Integrated Cell Browser can work better for you?
Join us at the inaugural PanKbase Quarterly Webinar.

📆 Feb 12, 2026 | 12–1 PM ET
💻 Details on joining: pankbase.org/news.html?id...

Are you attending the HIRN Annual Meeting December 2nd-4th? PanKbase appears at two sessions; one will discuss PanKbase's progress, mission, and goals and a second along with @dknet.org, will feature an interactive demonstration of PanKbase.

Kyle Gaulton is giving an update on our PanKbase pancreas knowledgebase platform at today's American Pancreas Association meeting. If you are in San Diego, and interested in integrated datasets of the pancreas in TID, stop by. We aim to get community input of where we should go next!

PanKbase PI @annagloyn.bsky.social is giving a talk tomorrow at the
American Pancreas Association meeting on “Tools for Basic Exocrine Research We Can Borrow from our Islet Neighbors”
