Summary
- Dr. Emily K. Sims MD, MS is a physician scientist specializing in pediatric endocrinology, with a long-term goal of addressing clinically relevant problems in diabetes utilizing molecular discovery. Her research focus revolves around the investigation of molecular mechanisms contributing to β cell dysfunction and the development of diabetes, the identification and verification of circulating biomarkers of β cell dysfunction, and clinical studies identifying and targeting β cell dysfunction in T1D. She hopes to ultimately utilize knowledge gained for development of biomarkers and β cell-targeted therapeutics that allow for a more tailored approach to treatment of patients with or at-risk for diabetes.
