Congratulations to JDRF-funded scientist Dr Robert Langer who has been awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation from US President Barack Obama.
The National Medal of Technology and Innovation is awarded to inventors or innovators who have made a significant contribution to new technology and is the highest technology honour awarded by the United States. Among the first winners of the award were Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak for the development of the personal computer.
Dr Langer has received the award for his groundbreaking research on new ways to deliver drugs into the body and ensure their controlled release. His previous work led to the development of the first FDA approved treatment for brain cancer in 20 years.
