He was drawn to Utah by the collaborative, interdisciplinary research approaches used to study Diabetes, Obesity and related co-morbidities. Dr. Holland recently returned to Utah after a decade of research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he ran an independent research laboratory in the Touchstone Diabetes Center. He brings to Utah a strong background in lipid signaling, insulin action and diabetic physiology. His past research has highlighted the role for a lipid metabolite, termed ceramide, in the progression of diabetes, beta cell dysfunction, vascular dysfunction, and cardiomyopathy. Ceramide builds up in response to excess dietary intake of saturated fat, inflammatory factors, and environmental toxins. Will Holland completed his dissertation work with Scott Summers at the University of Utah in 2007. Together, they produced seminal work establishing the role of ceramide as an inhibitor of insulin action. During his subsequent postdoctoral work with Philipp Scherer, he uncovered the roles of adiponectin and FGF21, as potent regulators of ceramide metabolism which can maintain survival and promote regeneration of insulin-producing beta cells. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology, focusing efforts on the roles of ceramide catabolic enzymes on glucose and lipid metabolism. Will has recently uncovered an exciting result, that blocking the action of glucagon (a glucose-raising hormone) stimulates the regeneration of new beta cell mass and prevents cell death in human islets. His current research focuses on: 1) protecting fragile insulin producing beta cells and heart muscle cells from the lipid burden encountered in diabetic individuals; 2) evaluating mechanisms by which adiponectin and FGF21 promote beta cell survival and regeneration; 3) evaluating novel means of opposing glucagon’s hyperglycemic effects in diabetes; 4) uncovering novel molecular mediators governing ceramide homeostasis; and 5) understanding the complex biophysical and signaling components by which the sphingolipid ceramide impairs insulin action and promotes cell death. https://www.summersholland.u2m2.utah.edu/alumni daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg Alumni https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg Alumni https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224412523-SZYXMKS44H8QE5OK3RZP/Rectangle+17.jpg Alumni https://www.summersholland.u2m2.utah.edu/scott-bio daily 0.75 2023-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635c03b799a6ce163ea29701/5601b7b5-46e2-4f3f-97c8-d0ddc742174b/UUHC_161012_503.jpg Scott Bio - Scott Summers, PhD Distinguished Professor and Chair Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology Co-Director, Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center William J. Rutter, PhD, Presidential Endowed Chair in Biochemistry University of Utah Dr. Summers is a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah, the Co-Director of the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center, and the William J. Rutter Presidential Endowed Chair of Biochemistry. He has been a leading voice advancing the idea that ceramides, which are products of fat and protein metabolism that accrue in dyslipidemia or inflammation, contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications in the heart, liver, gut, and kidney. Though the idea was initially controversial, the role of ceramides as drivers of pathology is now widely accepted and clinics have started measuring ceramides as a means of assessing disease risk. In 2015, he co-founded Centaurus Therapeutics, a USA-based biotechnology company that is developing new ceramide-lowering therapeutics to combat the metabolic underpinnings of metabolic disorders. Prior to joining the University of Utah, Dr. Summers held faculty appointments at Duke University and its affiliated medical school in Singapore (Duke-NUS); the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia; and Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. He completed his BS at Indiana University, his PhD at Southern Illinois University, and his postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania.
