Jens Juul Holst
A physiologist who studies how intestinal hormones regulate insulin secretion and metabolism. His experiments helped establish the activity of GLP-1 and its role in the gut–pancreas connection.
Svetlana Mojsov
A peptide chemist whose work identified the biologically active form of GLP-1 and enabled its synthesis and measurement. This contribution helped researchers test how the hormone stimulates insulin secretion.
Qikun Xue
An experimental physicist known for work on quantum materials. His team’s observation of the quantum anomalous Hall effect connected topological ideas with measurable transport in magnetic thin films.
