Career Trajectory
Bio
Prof Paul Zimmet is Professor of Diabetes at Monash University and formerly Director Emeritus, Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute. In 1984, he founded the International Diabetes Institute which merged with the Baker Institute in 2008. He is Honorary President of the International Diabetes Federation and has an extensive international record in diabetes and obesity research, particularly in epidemiology and public health. His research predicted and has charted the evolving global type 2 diabetes epidemic. His epidemiological studies commenced in the Pacific, and later to Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates. In 1999, he designed and led the team that undertook the first national diabetes and lifestyle study, AusDiab.
Professor Zimmet’s metabolic and genetic studies with Professor Greg Collier, at Deakin University, led to important understanding of mechanisms in diabetes and obesity using one of the best animal models for type 2 diabetes, a gerbil, Psammomys obesus. He led the Monash team, with Professor Ian Mackay and Dr Merrill Rowley, to develop the first laboratory assay test (Anti-GAD) for predicting type 1 diabetes in children and an adult form now known widely as LADA – not the Czechoslovakian car, but Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults! This test is now used worldwide. He co-chaired the Federal Government National Diabetes Strategy Advisory Group which prepared the groundwork for the government”s “National Diabetes Strategy 2016-2020. He is currently advising Singapore in the development of their national diabetes strategy and its new program, "War on Diabetes".
Professor Zimmet's current areas of research include continuing his international epidemiology activities in Mauritius and the UAE. He is a co-Principal Investigator in a major Indigenous Australian diabetes study led by Professor Alex Brown at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. He continues his research in type 2 diabetes, depression, sleep disturbances and ageing, currently initiating a research collaboration between Monash University and 2 major Israeli centres, Tel Aviv University and Tel Aviv Medical Centre. The collaboration focusses on research on the "Body Clock" to understand the epigenetic mechanisms that may explain the relationship between type 2 diabetes and the above disorders in Psammomys obesus in order to translate them for potential approaches to treatment and prevention in humans.
