Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism
The Division of Endocrinology has a 50-year tradition of excellence in basic and clinical research, education and patient care.
Interdisciplinary research programs have been emphasized and links forged to the Pediatrics research program and the diabetes and osteoporosis programs at the Graduate School of Public Health. The fellowship program is supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH) training grant.
Excellent clinical care is provided on inpatient consult services at the VA Pittsburgh Health Care System (VAPHCS), Presbyterian/Shadyside locations of the UPMC Health System, Magee Womens Hospital and the outpatient clinic in the Falk Clinic building on the UPMC Presbyterian campus. Many endocrine faculty are listed among the "Best Physicians in the U.S." in the care and management of diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease, adrenal disease, pituitary disease, osteoporosis and other Endocrine-related illnesses.

With great pleasure we announce the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2nd Annual Basic Science Retreat on Oct 27 and 28, 2008. The Retreat will take place from 10:00 AM on Monday, Oct 27 and end at approximately 3:00 PM on Tuesday, Oct 28. It will be overnight at the 7 Springs Resort (about an hour and a half drive from Pittsburgh). The program contains a series of about 15-20 min talks from each PI and trainee. We will also have a plenary talk from Dr. Chris Newgard, from Duke University, and a Halloween party on Monday night (Bring a costume!). The idea is to exchange scientific ideas in a collegial atmosphere that promotes new interactions and collaborations.
We’re looking forward to having a great time!
The Retreat Committee
