Professor Khunti said: “This was a real surprise to us but we are absolutely honored to be recognised in this list of some of the top researchers in the world. This is recognition of the work being conducted by our Leicester Diabetes Team from the University of Leicester over the past 15 years.”
Professor Davies said: “This is great news for Leicester and recognises the impact that our research on diabetes is having internationally."
