18.02.2010 - Inbev-Baillet Latour Health Prize 2010

The "INBEV-BAILLET LATOUR HEALTH PRIZE - 2010" which focuses on "Metabolic Disorders" has been awarded to Professor Stephen O’RAHILLY from the Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge (United Kingdom).

Professor Stephen O’RAHILLY has made seminal contributions to our understanding of how alterations in single genes can cause common and important metabolic disorders, especially obesity, in humans.

These studies have paved the way for understanding how hormones and receptors work in humans, often differently from their actions in animal models.
