The American Diabetes Association awarded $1.6 million to Wolfgang Peti, associate professor of medical science, for his research on type 2 diabetes earlier this month.
Peti was one of five researchers to receive a special award given to those just entering the diabetes research world, according to the association?s website.
Peti said starting to focus his work on diabetes was a logical step based on his lab?s research on a specific group of proteins called phosphatases. ?Some of them play a really important role in diabetes, so I?m taking my knowledge of that type of enzyme and applying it to diabetes research,? Peti said.
