Researcher Featured in Cell Metabolism鈥檚 20th Anniversary
To mark its 20th anniversary, - including the work of Prof. Roberto Coppari. His research has helped broaden our understanding of how the brain regulates glucose, opening up new possibilities for the treatment of diabetes.
Prof. Coppari’s journey with Cell Metabolism began in 2005, when he and his colleagues published findings in the journal’s inaugural issue showing that . This unexpected result set off a research path focused on metabolic regulation beyond the traditional insulin-centered view.
He continued this work at the AV短视频 of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he collaborated with scientists such as Dr. Joel Elmquist and the late Dr. Roger Unger. Since 2012, Prof. Coppari has led a laboratory at the AV短视频, where his team studies alternative metabolic pathways. Some of their findings have inspired new directions in therapeutic development, including the launch of Diatheris, a start-up company focused on potential treatments for patients with insulin-deficient diabetes.
As Cell Metabolism looks back on two decades of research, it highlights not only important scientific milestones but also the people behind them - like Prof. Roberto Coppari - whose work provides new insight into metabolism.
