Every patient of the Pediatric Endocrine Unit has a personal endocrinologist. We work collaboratively with primary care physicians, other specialty caregivers, and—most importantly—patients and their families to deliver the highest quality of care.
Our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all endocrine-related conditions of infants, children and adolescents, including:
Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship
The Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program at Mass General for Children spans three years of training and prepares our fellows for careers as leaders in academic medicine and also clinical practice.
Pediatric Endocrine-Neuroendocrine-Sports Endocrine Research
Research within the Pediatric Endocrine-Neuroendocrine-Sports Endocrine Lab aims to further medical knowledge about common endocrine issues in athletes and girls with low-weight eating disorders. In particular, we focus our efforts on establishing findings that lead to the adaptation and improvement of medical care for female athletes and young girls and women with eating disorders.
Pediatric Research in the Metabolism Unit
The Metabolism Unit, housed in the MGH Endocrine Division, investigates broad themes of adiposity, metabolism, inflammation, ectopic fat deposition, and cardiovascular disease. The Unit includes both adult and pediatric research, with a cross-disciplinary approach aimed at tackling underlying themes in obesity and metabolism.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, is a common occurrence in individuals living with obesity and/or Type 2 diabetes, and it can also occur in lean individuals. NAFLD encompasses a spectrum from “simple steatosis” – having fat deposition in the liver cells without other changes – to “nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH),” in which fat deposition is accompanied by inflammation, cellular damage, and/or scarring. NASH can lead to substantial liver damage and dysfunction, such that research into strategies for addressing NASH and NAFLD is greatly needed. We have previously demonstrated that administration of a growth hormone releasing hormone analog reduces liver fat and decreases the rate of progression to fibrosis in individuals with HIV. Current efforts including investigating the efficacy of growth hormone to reduce liver fat in young adults and the efficacy of growth hormone releasing hormone to ameliorate liver disease in adults with obesity and NAFLD.
Previous work in the Metabolism Unit has included characterization of mitochondrial function in children living with obesity, as well as work performed in adults to demonstrate various contributors to obesity including mitochondrial dysfunction and systemic inflammation. Current pediatric work in the unit aims to determine the efficacy of following guidelines for obesity treatment in the pediatric primary care setting as well as characterizing possible effects of in utero exposure to HIV on later-life metabolic and immune function.
