Mary-Elizabeth Patti MD, FACP
Investigator, Adult Endocrinologist, and Director, Hypoglycemia Clinic, Joslin Diabetes Center; Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MassachusettsDr. Patti is a physician-scientist, serving as Principal Investigator at Joslin Diabetes Center, Director of the Hypoglycemia Clinic, Co-Director of the Molecular Phenotyping Core, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Patti’s NIH-funded lab focuses on identification of molecular/epigenetic mechanisms by which nutritional exposures during early life increase diabetes risk in subsequent generations. Translational studies are focused on mechanisms contributing to diabetes resolution and hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery. Dr. Patti received her MD from Jefferson Medical College magna cum laude, with internal medicine residency at University of Pittsburgh, and endocrinology fellowship at Harvard.
