The 2021 Gairdner Prize is awarded to Daniel Drucker, Joel Habener, and Jens Juul Holst for the discovery of novel peptides encoded in the proglucagon sequence and the establishment of their physiological roles. These discoveries underpinned the development of therapeutics that are now benefiting patients with type 2 diabetes and other disorders worldwide.
