Professor Anna L Gloyn

Anna L Gloyn is an endocrinologist and geneticist, who is Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and, by courtesy, of Genetics at the University of Stanford. She was the recipient of the Minkowski Prize in 2014 for her research into causal mechanisms of diabetes pathogenesis.

Education[]

Gloyn studied for a BSc in Medical Biochemistry and the University of Surrey.[1] This was followed by a DPhil on the Molecular Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes at Green College at the University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Robert Turner. She worked at the University of Exeter for her post-doctoral training, supervised by Professors Andrew Hattersley & , as well as Professor at the University of Pennsylvania.[2]

Career[]

In 2004 Gloyn returned to the University of Oxford funded by a Diabetes UK RD Lawrence Career Development Fellowship to establish a research group to examine "beta-cell function through the investigation of genetic variants causally implicated in monogenic diabetes".[3] In 2011 she was awarded a Wellcome Senior Fellowship in Basic Biomedical Science to continue her research. This was renewed in 2016.[3] Her research has focused on how human genetic variants can be used as tools to examine how insulin secretion and action are regulated.[4] In 2014 she was awarded the Minkowski Prize.[5] The same year she was promoted to Professor of Molecular Genetics & Metabolism.[6]

In 2020 Gloyn was appointed Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and, by courtesy, of Genetics, at the University of Stanford.[3] This appointment enabled the movement of her research group to Stanford where it now runs as the Translational Genomics of Diabetes Lab.[7]

Gloyn is a founding member of the (ICDA).[8] She is also a member of the executive committee of the .[9]
