\u201cWe are happy to see Christian receive this chair in honor of his exemplary work during his career,\u201d says Salk President \u9c81\u65af\u8482\u00b7\u76d6\u5947<\/a>. \u201cThe generous, continued support of our institution by both Dan and Martina Lewis enables us to support outstanding members of our research community like Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metallo, who is part of Salk\u2019s Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, studies metabolism\u2014how the constant breakdown of energy within cells works and, importantly, doesn\u2019t work. By carefully studying healthy metabolic pathways, disease-causing pathways become clear, such as those that drive cancer progression and vision loss. His research advances the field of metabolism and provides a foundation for the development of metabolism-related therapeutics. Most recently, Metallo discovered<\/a> that altered amino acid metabolism significantly contributes to peripheral neuropathy, a condition that is common in people with diabetes. The discovery opens new possibilities for identifying people most at risk for the condition, as well as potential treatment options.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a tremendous honor to be the next Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair,\u201d says Metallo. \u201cMoving forward, this support will advance my lab\u2019s research and allow us to break new ground in our understanding of metabolism and its relationship to diseases like cancer, diabetes, and neuropathy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair, which was established 11 years ago, is a designation made possible by the generosity of Daniel and Martina Lewis. They established the chair to promote the excellence and innovation of Salk faculty members, intending for the chair to benefit the area of highest scientific priority, according to the President\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n

In addition to founding the chair, Daniel Lewis has been a member of Salk\u2019s Board of Trustees<\/a> since 2012, where he previously served as chair and on the Executive Committee. He is personally aware of the impact of Salk\u2019s science. Gleevec, a drug developed based on an early scientific discovery made by Salk Professor Tony Hunter<\/a>, allowed Lewis to survive his leukemia diagnosis.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalk has made such an impact on my life, I am honored to contribute to the continued success of Salk\u2019s science,\u201d says Daniel Lewis. \u201cChristian has enormous potential, and I cannot wait to see how his research contributes to the excellence of Salk\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":38135,"template":"","faculty":[407],"disease-research":[46,123],"class_list":["post-38119","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-christian-metallo","disease-research-cancer-biology","disease-research-metabolism-and-diabetes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk Professor Christian Metallo honored with Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/zh\/news-release\/salk-professor-christian-metallo-honored-with-daniel-and-martina-lewis-chair\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"zh_CN\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk Professor Christian Metallo honored with Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Professor Christian Metallo has been recognized for his outstanding contributions to advancing science by being named the next holder of the Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair, effective January 1, 2023.
