Rury Holman, Professor of Diabetic Medicine and director of the Diabetes Trials Unit, at the Churchill Hospital, and member of the NIHR funded Diabetes Research Theme, has received the Harold Rifkin Award ‘for Distinguished International Service in the Cause of Diabetes’ from the American Diabetes Association.
Professors Rury Holman and Stephen Gough established the Translational Research Group (TRG) in February 2010 in recognition of the urgent need to facilitate scientifically robust and clinically appropriate early intervention of potential new diabetes-related therapies, devices and interventions. It is embedded as a section within the Diabetes Trials Unit (DTU) that can provide substantial infrastructure support, particularly with respect to bioinformatics, biostatistics and regulatory matters.
