Biography

Dr. Wysolmerski is an endocrinologist involved in patient care, medical education and medical research. He is a Professor of Medicine and serves as Section Chief of Endocrinology and Metabolism. He sees adult patients with all endocrine disorders in the hospital and his outpatient clinical practice centers on disorders of mineral and bone metabolism. He treats patients with osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta, hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia and disorders of phosphate metabolism. His research focuses on the biological functions of parathyroid hormone-related protein and the calcium-sensing receptor in the breast, and the regulation of calcium and bone metabolism during lactation and in breast cancer.

Clinical Care

Overview

John Wysolmerski, MD, is an endocrinologist, a physician who specializes in hormone-related diseases and conditions.

He sees patients with a variety of endocrine disorders, as well as those with osteoporosis, which is the weakening of bones, resulting in an increased risk for fractures, and osteomalacia, the failure of bones to properly deposit minerals such as calcium and phosphate. He also treats patients with irregularities in parathyroid hormone production. Parathyroid hormone controls calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the body.

Through the Yale Bone Center, Dr. Wysolmerski is working with Yale School of Medicine colleagues to develop a Fracture Liaison Service with the goal of reducing further fractures in patients who have suffered a previous fragility fracture by diagnosing osteoporosis or offering preventative therapy.

Dr. Wysolmerski’s research examines calcium and bone metabolism in women who are breastfeeding, as well as the mechanisms by which calcium is secreted into milk. He is also examining how changes in calcium and bone metabolism are altered in people diagnosed with breast cancer, especially those with bone metastases.

He is chief of the Section of Endocrinology at Yale School of Medicine and has published more than 100 scientific papers and has served on multiple editorial boards, including the Journal of Mineral and Bone Research, andEndocrinology.
