华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(1月22日. 2016年9月29日)-华盛顿 & 杰佛逊学院&J) student’s research is contributing to improved treatment of Type I Diabetes.
约瑟夫·戈尔茨，17岁，a cellular and molecular biology major 来自宾夕法尼亚州塞威克利. spent the summer of 2015 in Rochester, Minn. in an internship at the Mayo Clinic’s Endocrinology Research Unit, using his experience to study diabetes and insulin pump therapy.
Goltz and his team worked on multiple projects, including a study that helped determine the safety and efficiency of the DiAs closed-loop system in the outpatient setting. This helped to improve the closed-loop therapy treatment for Type 1 diabetes by using an algorithm to help design a pump that can better monitor the amount of insulin needed in a diabetic person’s body.
This is one of the first closed-loop studies that allows participants to use the system in their normal home environment because the algorithm used to control the pump can be stored on a cell phone called the Google Nexus phone. While this research is at the beginning stages, Goltz is very excited to see where it goes in the future.
“It’s just so inspiring because I have met patients before and seen how they struggled with their diabetes,戈尔茨说. “To know that one day this is going to benefit them, there is nothing greater than that.”
Goltz’s participation in this research project was made possible by the J. Robert Maxwell ’43 Student Internship Endowment, an award Goltz received earlier this year.
J. Robert Maxwell’43 Student Internship Endowment is a prestigious scholarship opportunity annually awarded to W&J sophomore and junior students who can demonstrate financial need in completing off-campus internship experiences. 戈尔茨是10位W中的一位&J students to receive the award in 2015.
Tyler Tenney, Coordinator of Co-curricular Innovation at W&J, explained how it is opportunities like these that set W&J学生分开.
“Being a President does not end after one receives their diploma from W&J学院, and this is a quality of character and dedication on which the College prides itself,坦尼说。. “Mr. Maxwell’s spirit and memory lives on through this endowment by financially supporting Maxwell Scholars in their academic and professional endeavors.”
在校园, Goltz is a member of the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS), the Pre-Health Professions Society, 和纽曼俱乐部. After graduation, he plans to attend medical school and become an endocrinologist.
“I would like to thank the Maxwell family, Dr. Yogish Kudva, my mentor at the Mayo Clinic; Dr. 黛博拉Polvani介绍, who wrote my letter of recommendation; Dr. 糖果DeBerry, W&J’s off-campus science research coordinator; Dr. 凯利Weixel, my advisor; Tyler Tenney, and of course my parents,” said Goltz.
