Dr. Lelio Orci |
The chair of the University of Geneva Medical School's Department of Morphology, Dr. Lelio Orci is an internationally recognized authority in such areas as the cell biology of insulin secretion and molecular intermediates in intracellular transport. Using innovative techniques, many of them developed in his own laboratory, Orci has provided the most complete picture yet available of the structure of the cells responsible for the production of insulin. He has won several major prizes including the European Society for Clinical Investigation's Mack-Foster Award, the American Juvenile Diabetes Foundation's David Rumbough Award for outstanding research in diabetes and British Endocrine Societies' Dale Medal and the American Diabetes Association's Banting Medal. Orci is the author or co-author of more than 450 scientific papers. |
