National Scientific and Health Care Achievement
Award Recipients Honored in San Francisco in June
At its 74th Scientific Sessions, the American Diabetes Association recognized seven top
researchers, clinicians, and educators in the field of diabetes with National Scientific and
Health Care Achievement Awards.
The Association's highest honor, the Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement, was
bestowed upon Daniel J. Drucker, MD, Professor of Medicine at the University of
Toronto and Senior Scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at Mount
Sinai Hospital.

Dr. Drucker is known for his translational studies identifying fundamental aspects of gut
hormone action, which supported the development of three novel classes of medicines
for treating metabolic disorders. Dr. Drucker's research encompasses molecular biology,
physiology, drug discovery, and clinical investigation, with a sustained focus on delineating novel mechanisms relevant to understanding efficacy and safety of peptide therapeutics and DPP-4 inhibitors.
In his Banting Lecture, "Deciphering Metabolic Messages from the Gut," Dr. Drucker
detailed the journey of discovery that led to the development of GLP-1 receptor agonists
and DPP-4 inhibitors, as well as the first long-term treatment for parenteral, nutritiondependent, short bowel syndrome. He further described future directions and possible
additional therapeutic uses to investigate for drugs derived from or targeting the glucagon gene, which has already produced more approved drugs than any gene in the human
body. There are few living scientists whose investigations have had such enormous and
directly translational impact; Dr. Drucker's research has benefitted millions of patients
worldwide.
