Endocrinology Research |Overview
The Division of Endocrinology comprises more than 50 basic science and clinical researchers who are attempting to unravel the genetic and biochemical underpinnings of the endocrine system. They are investigating:
- new means for preventingprematurebirths
- improved methods ofdiabetesmanagement
- obesitycontrol
- new treatments forgrowthanddevelopment disorders
Featured researchers in the Division of Endocrinology hold faculty appointments atHarvard Medical School.
