Verleihung des Werner-Creutzfeldt-Preises 2016: Neue Befunde zur Pathophysiologie des Typ-2-Diabetes

Zusammenfassung

Die Deutsche Diabetes Gesellschaft (DDG) verlieh in diesem Jahr Frau Prof. Dr. Annette Schürmann den Werner-Creutzfeld-Preis und ehrte sie damit für ihre diabetologische Forschung und die herausragenden Beiträge, die zum Verständnis der Pathogenese des Typ-2-Diabetes beigetragen haben. Ihr Arbeitsgebiet ist die Pathogenese von Adipositas und Typ-2-Diabetes mellitus; auf diesem Gebiet hat sie wichtige Beiträge (1) zur genetischen Grundlage von Adipositas und Typ-2-Diabetes, (2) zur Rolle von GTPasen der ARF-Familie in der Lipidspeicherung sowie (3) zur molekularen Struktur und Funktion der Glukosetransporter geleistet. In diesem Artikel fasst Frau Schürmann die wichtigsten Befunde ihrer Arbeitsgruppe zusammen.

Abstract

Prof. Dr. Annette Schürmann received the Werner-Creutzfeld Award from the German Diabetes Assoziation in May 2016 for her outstanding contributions to improve the knowledge on the pathomechansims of type 2 diabetes. Her research focus is on the genetics and pathpyhsiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In this field she participated in the clarification of (1) the genetic contribution on the development of obesity and diabetes, the (2) role of ARF-GTPases on lipid storage and (3) the molecular structure and function of glucose transporters. In this article Dr. Schürmann summarizes the most important findings of her research group.
