Severe insulin resistance syndromes – how to recognise them and what to do next

Professor Robert Semple

Prof Semple is a is a diabetologist and endocrinologist based at the Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh. He is a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow in Clinical Science, and Dean of Postgraduate Research at the University of Edinburgh. He trained in Biochemistry and then Medicine in Cambridge, with clinical postgraduate training in London and Cambridge, including a PhD in the laboratory of Prof. Sir Stephen O’Rahilly.  Over the past 15 years his clinical and research interests have centred on severely insulin resistant diabetes, lipodystrophy and hypoglycaemia, both genetic and acquired.  Key interests are use of such rare human conditions to improve understanding of pandemic “insulin resistance” and the mechanisms linking it to disease, and on translating findings from the research laboratory into clinical benefits for patients.  Approaches in his group span clinical trials, experimental medicine, and disease modelling in cells and animals.
