Advancing Diabetes Research: Mark Huising Receives Faculty Research Award

Science is about advancing knowledge, work that requires dedication and tenacity. Another component is a keen and critical eye, as discovery is predicated on synthesizing and evaluating the work that came before. 

For his discovery of a new type of insulin-producing cell, among other research contributions featured in the journal Cell Metabolism, Associate Professor Mark Huising, Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, was awarded the 2017-2018 College of Biological Sciences Faculty Research Award.

“When it comes to research, College of Biological Sciences faculty are at the forefront of discovery,” said College of Biological Sciences Dean Mark Winey. “Dr. Huising’s research is changing the way scientists look at diabetes, questioning prior research and providing new ideas for treatment. His research and discoveries are advancing our understanding of human health and truly add to the legacy of the College of Biological Sciences.”
