Michael Czech
Michael P. Czech is currently the Isadore and Fannie Foxman Professor at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, where he was also Chairman of Biochemistry (1981-1989) and founding Chair of the Program in Molecular Medicine (1989-2018). Czech’s laboratory applies RNAi- and CRISPR-based technologies to address mechanisms of insulin signal transduction, metabolic regulation and insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes. His group’s work revealed insights into signaling by receptors for insulin and the IGFs, and identified several new regulators of adipose tissue and systemic metabolism. Czech has received the Elliot P. Joslin Medal (1998), the Banting Medal (2000), and the 2009 Jacobaeus Prize presented in Umea Sweden.
