Bio/Research
I lead a multidisciplinary team of physicians, diabetes nurse educators, dieticians and social workers who care for more than 1000 children, adolescents and young adults with diabetes. The most exciting work right now is development of an artificial pancreas for diabetes. Major accomplishments have included pioneering studies in the development of insulin pump therapy, investigations of diabetes-induced defects in counterregulatory hormone responses to hypoglycemia, and demonstration of the role of insulin resistance in pediatric metabolic disorders. Current research efforts are directed at applying recent advances in insulin pump and glucose sensor technology toward the development of an artificial pancreas.
