Two prizes from the Faculty of Medicine have been obtained by members from the laboratory of Pr. Roberto Coppari for their research about diabetes.
Giorgio Ramadori together with Sanda Ljubicic were awarded the Alex-F. M眉ller Prize, for their publication recently published in Nature Communications. With this study, researchers demonstrated that the protein S100A9 has an anti-diabetic action and might be a putative target in insulin deficiency.
Ebru Aras was awarded the Denber-Pinard prize, for her publication entitled published in Cell Reports. With this study and her PhD thesis, she uncovered some of the mechanisms by which a desynchronization of circadian system contributes to development of diabetes.
