Dr. Gupta will hold the W. David and Sarah W. Stedman Distinguished Professorship, awarded for his field-leading work on adipose tissue development and biology, and the contributions of adipose-derived factors in development of cardiometabolic diseases. We are very proud of Svati and Rana—well done and richly deserved!!
