  • 2004 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science

Overview

Ray V. Rajotte is affiliated with the University of Alberta in Canada. Their research primarily focuses on medical and biochemical fields, with particular attention to surgery, pharmacology, and genetics as subfields. The main areas of study include pancreatic function and diabetes, cannabis and cannabinoid research, diabetes and associated disorders, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, and xenotransplantation and immune response.

Their scholarly output includes several recent papers published between 2020 and 2022. Notable publications are:

  • "Yield, cell composition, and function of islets isolated from different ages of neonatal pigs" (2022) in Frontiers in Endocrinology
  • "MRI monitoring of transplanted neonatal porcine islets labeled with polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in a mouse model" (2021) in Xenotransplantation
  • "Impact of donor and prolonged cold ischemia time of neonatal pig pancreas on neonatal pig islet transplant outcome" (2020) in Xenotransplantation

Frequent coauthors include Gina R. Rayat, Hossein Arefanian, Qahir Ramji, Nancy Gupta, and Aliya F Spigelman. This indicates collaborative work primarily in biomedical research contexts.

Their publications have predominantly appeared in the journals Xenotransplantation and Frontiers in Endocrinology, reflecting a focus on transplantation science and endocrinology.

Throughout their career, they have contributed extensively to research on pancreatic function related to diabetes, as well as to investigations involving cannabis and cannabinoid interactions, genetics, and immune responses in xenotransplantation.

In 2004, Ray V. Rajotte was awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, recognized by the Academy of Science.
