Dr. Stephen E. Gitelman, our Chief of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, was recently showcased in this video which discussed his passion with and family connections to the field of diabetes research.
In another eloquent video, he describes how research in regulatory T-cells led by Jeff Bluestone, PhD, has opened a doorway to treating type-1 diabetes with cell-based therapy.
He is actively involved in research, in particular with those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and maintains his clinical practice as well. You can read his bio here.
