Presentation title: "Enteroendocrine cells - chemosensors of the postprandial state"
Fiona Gribble is Professor of Endocrine Physiology at the University of Cambridge, Director of Graduate Education for the School of Clinical Medicine, and an Honorary Consultant at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. She runs a joint research laboratory with Dr Frank Reimann based in the Institute of Metabolic Science, funded largely by the Wellcome Trust and MRC. The group focusses on identifying signalling pathways in the gut-brain-pancreatic axis that could be exploited to develop new drugs that modulate the gut hormone axis for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
