Department of Medicine
University of Toronto
Dr. Drucker is University Professor in the Department of Medicine’s Division of Endocrinology, the Banting and Best Diabetes Centre-Novo Nordisk Chair in Incretin Biology, and a Senior Investigator at Sinai Health’s Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute.
Dr. Drucker is renowned for his breakthrough discoveries of the biological actions of glucagon-like peptide hormone GLP-1, including its key roles in stimulating insulin secretion and reducing food intake. His research has helped to lay the biological foundations for the pharmacological revolution of GLP-1 based medicines that have transformed the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. His discovery of the role of GLP-2 in intestinal barrier function has also led to a first-in-class, life-changing treatment for patients with short-bowel syndrome.
