Drug being developed to help people with both diabetes and cystic fibrosis

Medications for people with type 2 diabetes generally work well, but some patients, including those with cystic fibrosis, suffer side effects of nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Robert Doyle, PhD, a medicinal chemist at Syracuse University, is developing a drug that would control blood sugar, but without the side effects. Doyle explains how the new drug is designed to work, how it fared in testing in a mammal, and the next steps in development. Doyle is also an adjunct member of the medicine faculty at Upstate.
