- Banting medal winner presents lecture on ”Metabolic Messages from the Gut”
The winner of the Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement, Dr. Daniel J. Drucker, spent three decades investigating the glucagon gene and has been involved in studies that led to DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and GLP-2 receptor agonists being used in diabetes and other therapeutic areas. ”The glucagon gene has already produced more approved drugs than any other gene in the human body,” Dr. Drucker said. He presented his award lecture, ”Deciphering Metabolic Messages from the Gut Drives Therapeutic Innovation,” on Sunday. ADA Diabetes Dispatch (2014)
