Risk, I'm still trying to piece it all together, but from what I can tell Dr. Urano was a visiting professor at UMass for a short period of time (last couple of years) during which he submitted the patent application that we've all seen now. I saw some material on his Facebook page which showed him at a farewell dinner thrown by his colleagues and students at UMass, so it appears that he's now back at his home university (Wash U in St. Louis). It's not that unusual for professors of this caliber to accept temporary research positions at other schools, and it appears to me that's what happened here. It would seem that his work on Wolfram and diabetes research is continuing where he is now.
