Paul L. Foster (Co-discoverer of the role of beta-cells)

Paul L. Foster is a distinguished researcher known for his work in understanding how the body regulates blood sugar. He played a key role in discovering the important functions of beta-cells, which are specialized cells in the pancreas that produce insulin—the hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels. His research has advanced knowledge of diabetes and opened new avenues for treatments. By uncovering how beta-cells work, Foster has contributed to efforts to preserve or restore insulin production in people with diabetes, improving disease management and patient outcomes.
