Felipe Larios, MD

Dr. Larios is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Section of General Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, where he conducts research under the mentorship of Drs. Alissa Chen and Kasia Lipska. His work focuses on improving the quality, safety, and equity of care for patients with chronic endocrine and metabolic diseases through the use of large-scale clinical data and real-world evidence.

Trained as a physician in Lima, Peru, he developed an early interest in academic medicine and in using health services research and clinical epidemiology to address questions that directly impact healthcare delivery. He is particularly interested in generating evidence that supports thoughtful, patient-centered longitudinal care for people living with chronic conditions. Prior to joining Yale, he was a Research Fellow in the Knowledge and Evaluation Research Unit at Mayo Clinic, where he applied AI-enabled methods to investigate thyroid cancer overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

At Yale, Dr. Larios studies obesity and diabetes outcomes, with a particular focus on patient-reported and clinical outcomes associated with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies in older adults, as well as insulin affordability and rationing following the Inflation Reduction Act. He plans to pursue a career as an academic endocrinologist, combining patient care with collaborative research that advances evidence-based care and improves the lives of people living with chronic disease.
