COMMONWEALTH FELLOW JOINS DIABETES RESEARCH TEAM
Thursday 16 October 2008
Professor Emran Chowdhury from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, has been awarded a Commonwealth Academic Staff Fellowship to undertake a 6-month research project. Professor Chowdhury's research programme will allow him to acquire up-to-date knowledge of and expertise in diabetes, a disease of major health importance to Bangladeshis living at home and overseas.
Professor Mike Cawthorne, Director of the Clore Laboratory, expressed his delight at being selected to host the holder of this prestigious scholarship and commented: "Having Professor Chowdhury join the group gives us an opportunity to understand the impact of this disease in a poor country where few can afford modern Western medicines."
