We have the pleasure of hosting Professor Richard Bergman<\/strong> from UCLA, USA. Professor Richard Bergman has been contributing important research in diabetes, obesity and metabolism\u00a0 for 45 years, and has published over 450 articles (lifetime h index, 123). Professor Bergman obtained the PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 1971.\u00a0 From 1980-2011 Bergman was the Keck Foundation Chair at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine.\u00a0 In 2011 Dr. Bergman moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and founded the Cedars-Sinai Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute, which he directs.\u00a0 Bergman holds the Alfred Jay Firestein Chair in Diabetes.\u00a0 He is a pioneer in systems biology of metabolism.\u00a0 He introduced the use of engineering technology to understand the pathogenesis of diabetes. Professor Bergman is internationally known for the invention of the minimal model approach to assessment of metabolic function and risk for disease. He proved that one may obtain a comprehensive portrait of metabolic function from a clinical test, which provides a single parameter, the «disposition index,» the most powerful predictor of future development of Type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals. Bergman’s laboratory has made many additional seminal contributions to understanding insulin resistance and b-cell function. He proved that liver glucose output was controlled by fatty acids and the kidney.\u00a0 He discovered portal glucose receptors and proved that transcapillary insulin transport was rate limiting for insulin action.\u00a0 Bergman has been awarded many honors for his work, including the Banting Medal from the American Diabetes Association, the «TOPS» award from the Obesity Society, the Albert Renold Award for mentoring, the MERIT award from the National Institutes of Health (U.S) and the 2017 \u201cDistinguished Leader in Insulin Resistance\u201d.\u00a0 Dr. Bergman has trained 54 fellows.<\/p>\n
