About Me
I am the director of the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My clinical expertise is focused on treating patients with conditions including type 1 and type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, lipid disorders, atherosclerosis and hypertension.
As a physician-scientist, I am passionate about using innovative research to improve patient care. My work has focused on better understanding the mechanisms by which obesity and diabetes increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. I also study how women and men are different metabolically and why they may need different approaches to treatment. In addition, I work to understand how patients’ lifestyles fit with their medical treatments.
My research has been widely published in peer-reviewed journals and I have served on committees within the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Diabetes Association.
My responsibilities also include helping to educate the next generation of providers. I am a professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I also am the director of the Lipid Clinic at the Columbus Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
