Dr. Jacqueline Beaudry is an Assistant Professor in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine in the department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, Canada since July 2020. She received her PhD from the department of Kinesiology and Health Science at York University in Toronto, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Michael Riddell where she studied the effects of stress hormones and high fat diet on diabetes development in rats. Following her PhD, she joined Dr. Daniel Drucker's laboratory at the Lunenfeld-Tannenbaum Research Centre at Sinai Health Systems in Toronto, Canada. During her time in the Drucker lab, Dr. Beaudry studied the physiological role of gut (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)) and pancreatic (glucagon) -derived hormone receptors on white and brown adipose tissue function using pre-clinical models. Dr. Beaudry's lab now focuses on trying to better understand how the body regulates energy homeostasis under hormonal stimuli, and energy demanding conditions and how abnormalities in these processes can lead to obesity and chronic disease development such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes.
