Juleen Zierath
American biologist
Juleen R. Zierath is an American-Swedish biologist. Her research focuses on the cellular mechanisms that correspond to the development of insulin resistance in Type II diabetes.[1][2] Her other research areas look at exercise-mediated effects on skeletal muscle glucose metabolism and gene expression.[3][4][5]
Early life and education
Zierath was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
She earned her bachelor's degree in Secondary Education and Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin in Her master's degree in Exercise Physiology was earned from Ball State University in She then started a PhD in Physiology at Karolinska Institute and defended her thesis in Right afterwards she began a post-doc at Harvard Medical School.

Zierath is a member of the Nobel Committee since , after serving as an Adjunct member from –10, and its chairman from to Other activities she is involved in include Director of the Strategic Research Program in Diabetes at Karolinska Institute, Editor-in-Chief of Diabetologia, Chair of the Board of Directors - Keystone Organization/Symposium and President of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
Works
Zierath has published over original research papers and review articles, and her work has been reported in scientific journals, including Nature (journal).[7] Her research provided the first evidence for physiological regulation of insulin signaling pathways and revealed key steps along this pathway are impaired in diabetic patients.
Another study showed that exercise can change the way that genes are expressed in muscle cells.[8]
