Research Interests

Research Summary

My primary research interest for the last 30 years has been in the area of diabetes and carbohydrate metabolism in the elderly.  I have made a number of significant contributions to our understanding of the pathogenesis of glucose intolerance in the elderly as well as the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes in older individuals.  I have established an international reputation in both these areas, particularly in the area of diabetes in the elderly.
