Cleveland, Ohio?Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine has received a nearly $1 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust's Type 1 diabetes program.
The three-year award will support research on a rapid-acting, glucose-responsive insulin by biochemistry professor Michael A. Weiss, MD, PhD, MBA, an internationally recognized leader in insulin research for nearly a quarter century. Weiss will lead work on a form of insulin that detects when levels of the sugar-storing hormone may be too high or low, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia in diabetes patients. If the research is successful, this new type of insulin would most likely be developed through Cleveland-based Thermalin Diabetes LLC, a company Weiss founded in 2009.
