LONG CITATION
Emőke Szathmáry is a physical anthropologist known internationally for her pioneering research on the genetics of indigenous people of the arctic and subarctic. Her multidisciplinary work focuses on examination of genetic diversity through linguistic, ethnological, and archaeological contexts, and on the etiology of type-2 diabetes. She was the first to use genetic data to test theories about the origin of arctic and subarctic North Americans. Her research on the cause of type-2 diabetes provides an essential baseline for future research about the factors involved in diabetes onset. Since 1996 she has been President of the University of Manitoba.
