Speaker: Chris Pearl, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, Grand Valley State University

Insulin’s discovery in 1921 turned diabetes from a fatal diagnosis to a chronic, but livable, condition. Come hear the early history of hormones leading to insulin’s identification and rapid impact in patient care. We will then journey over the last 100 years to see how insulin therapy has changed and developed into its current form.
