Endocrine and Breast Surgery
The discipline of Endocrinology & Metabolism arrives at this new century with increased importance.
Our population is experiencing significant advances in life expectancy - concomitantly, clinical scientists
face new challenges for improving the quality of these extra years. Many of the diseases afflicting the
aging population are metabolic in nature - including diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis. Our division
believes that understanding the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of endocrine and metabolic
diseases will lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for both inherited and acquired
conditions.
