Biography

Roy Taylor qualified in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, and is Professor of Medicine and Metabolism at Newcastle University and Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust. He has been conducting research on type 2 diabetes since 1978[4]. He founded the Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre in 2006 to apply innovative techniques to study in all medical specialities.

In 2011 he showed that type 2 diabetes was a simple, reversible condition of excess fat within liver and pancreas. This led to a series of studies, most recently the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial which demonstrated that type 2 diabetes can be reversed to normal in Primary Care and that the underlying pathophysiological changes were durable.

Professor Taylor developed the system now used through the United Kingdom for screening for diabetic eye disease, with major reduction in blindness due to diabetes across the UK. He has produced books and other teaching aids for retinal screeners and co-founded the British Association of Retinal Screeners. He developed the Newcastle Obstetric Medical service and advanced clinical management in diabetes and in hyperemesis.

gollark: You know, if we still had get-thing-from-AP-by-code, it'd be a very convenient storage space.
gollark: Maybe it's influenced to the CB gender?
gollark: They mean it's a hatchling of a release so new it doesn't exist - they have "influenced" in the egg description, so it's like with the truffles/muskies.
