“Our outpatient experience includes supervision by national experts in neuroendocrinology, endocrine cancers, type 1 and type 2 diabetes management and obesity.”
– Joseph Bass, MD
The Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine is home to a world-class team of investigative and clinical faculty who have established patient-centric programs at the forefront of research in metabolism and energetics.
What We Do
Faculty: Meet the Team
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
My focus is the management of patients with thyroid, pituitary, and metabolic bone disorders. This includes patients with thyroid cancer, pituitary adenomas, hyperprolactinemia, autoimmune thyroid disorders (Graves' disease), thyroid disease in pregnancy, osteoporosis, and parathyroid problems. I utilize real-time thyroid/parathyroid ultrasound in the office.
Research Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Gonadal Development, Pituitary, Gonadotropins, Activin, LH, FSH
Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
I have devoted my career to maintaining a state--of-the-art but individualized approach to primary care medicine, endocrinology, and, most specifically, the care of patients with all forms of diabetes. My main area of academic focus is to advocate for a minimization of bureaucratic obstacles that interfere with the primacy of the patient-physician relationship.
Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
genetics/genomics of complex diseases/traits; genetic epidemiology; statistical genetics; genomewide association studies; linkage; whole genome sequencing; candidate gene studies; genetic architecture of complex diseases/traits; population genetics; evolutionary genetics; signatures of selection.
Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
My major focus and passion is as a clinician and educator. I practice comprehensive adult endocrinology.I strive for outstanding, evidence-based, compassionate, thorough and empathetic care. Particular areas of interest include diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, pituitary and adrenal disorders. It is a privilege to take care of patients with endocrine disorders as best I know how. I enjoy the challenge of staying current with the science, applying and incorporating new and creative strategies.
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and Medicine (Endocrinology)
Epidemiological and genetic studies have shown that disruption of the circadian clock is a factor in multiple pathologies, including metabolic disease, myopathy, and cancer. Our laboratory aims to uncover the physiological impact of the circadian clock on nutrient-responsive regulatory pathways, including oxygen-sensing transcriptional networks. Indeed, we have recently identified a key connection between skeletal muscle clocks and the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, which drives circadian control of the hypoxic response and glucose metabolism. The goal of our laboratory is to understa...
Professor of McCormick School of Engineering, Medicine (Endocrinology) and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences
Samuel Stupp's research is focused on self-assembly and supramolecular materials with special emphasis in regenerative medicine, organic electronics, solar energy, and cancer therapies.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
My primary research interest focuses on elucidating mechanisms by which genetic variations in the zinc transporter gene ZnT8 influences beta cell function.
