Harnessing Brain Circuits to Improve Type 2 Diabetes
ADA 2018
Lora Heisler, PhD (Chair, Human Nutrition, Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen) is this year’s Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award Winner at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions 2018. Her work, originally supported 15 years ago by the ADA, has led to much better understanding as to how the brain affects diabetes, leading to novel approaches to harness serotonin’s activity in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
