Roger Unger, MD, professor of internal medicine at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, received the 2014 Rolf Luft Award for his outstanding contributions to endocrinology and diabetes research.
The prestigious international honor from the Karolinska Institutet medical university in Sweden, awarded to only one scientist each year, was bestowed upon Unger for his identification of glucagon as a pancreatic hormone that boosts blood sugar levels — the opposite effect of insulin.
