Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My clinical and research interests in neuroendocrinology include the following programs:
1. Investigations into the effects of brain injury on pituitary function, with emphasis on the impact of hypopituitarism on rehabilitation
2. Research on the effects of neuroendocrine factors, including growth hormone and glucocorticoids, on neurocognitive function
3. Investigations into novel therapeutic modalities for acromegaly and hypopituitarism
4. Research into the effects of anabolic hormones such as gonadal steroids and growth hormone on body composition
