Endocrinology & Metabolism Newsletter

May 2024

Dear Colleagues,

With spring underway, research programs in the Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism continue to flourish. In this newsletter, we highlight ways to reverse insulin resistance, the relationship between the brain and obesity, the cost of novel diabetes and obesity medications, and more. We also learn some fun—and surprising—facts about Richard Kibbey, MD, PhD, and Mireille Serlie, MD, PhD, who reflect on their careers as recently promoted/appointed professors!

I hope you enjoy reading about a few of the many ways we are helping patients by being at the forefront of discovery. As always, please feel free to contact me at the email address below to share your news for possible inclusion in a future newsletter.

Sincerely,

John Wysolmerski, MD
Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Section Chief, Endocrinology & Metabolism
Department of Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine
