The focus of our research programs is on insulin signaling mechanisms, islet cell transplantation, gonadotropin gene expression, endocrine oncology, male hypogonadism, and clinical diabetes.

• Sathya Krishnasamy, M.D. - "I am interested in clinical research in patients with the metabolic syndrome. I am currently investigating the impact of Vitamin D deficiency in obesity and cardiovascular function."
• SriPrakash Mokshagundam, M.D. - "I am interested in clinical research in type 2 diabetes. I am presently studying glucose intolerance in patients with spinal cord injury and mechanisms of inflammation in diabetes mellitus."
• Malika Rawal, M.D. - "My research interests mainly involve quality improvement in various areas of Endocrine care. My current research project involves identifying male veterans with hemochromatosis, Type 2 Diabetes, and low testosterone levels to emphasize the need to increase screening for these comorbidities."
• Joseph P. Moore, Ph.D.  - "My research examines the regulation of follistatin and gonadotropin subunit gene expression by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the fetal and newborn pituitary. This peptide differentially regulates expression of the gonadotropins LH and FSH through a novel paracrine mechanism applicable primarily in the fetus."
• Sham K. Kakar, Ph.D. - "My major research interest is to understand the molecular mechanism for the causation and prevention of hormone-related cancers. I am working on two research projects: 1) to define the molecular mechanisms for inhibition of tumor cell growth and proliferation by gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor activation, and 2) to study the role of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) in the development of ovarian tumorigenesis and metastasis ."
• Lisal Folsom, M.D., M.Sci. - "My research interests include: transgender medicine, nutrition, and quality improvement."
