  • Abstract
    This year, the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award will be shared by Douglas Coleman and Jeffrey Friedman for their discovery of leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite and body weight. By uncovering a critical physiologic system, their discovery markedly accelerated our capacity to apply molecular and genetic techniques to understand obesity.
