He joined NIDDK in 1966. Dr. Gorden's research has focused on such areas as the clinical molecular biologic studies of diseases of the insulin receptor, and the diagnosis and treatment of hypoglycemic disorders. He has published more than 300 papers in scientific journals. Dr. Gorden is resuming his research on insulin receptor, insulin secretion, and severe insulin resistance. Dr. Gorden was honored by other renowned scientists and colleagues at a symposium held at NIH in October 1999.
