artificial
pancreas center
The
Department of Pediatric Endocrinology at Stanford is
committed to the development of an artificial pancreas.
We are currently receiving grant support from the Juvenile
Diabetes Foundation to pursue this goal. We are working
with engineers at Stanford, UC Santa Barbara, and the
Rensselaer Institute to develop algorithms for the artificial
pancreas. We are also conducting clinical trials with Dr.
Peter Chase at the Barbara Davis Center in Colorado to
prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia using an "artificial pancreas".

Welcome to
the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at Stanford
University!
The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at Stanford has a long tradition of major contributions in both medical research and education, as well as a strong commitment to the quality clinical care of children. Six physicians and three fellows evaluate and treat children with diabetes, growth disorders, precocious and delayed puberty, sex chromosome disorders (particularly Turner syndrome), abnormal bone development, and other hormonal problems. The work done by the division successfully combines the worlds of clinical investigation and clinical care to improve the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about who we are and what we are doing. The site will continue to be updated, so please check back often for recent additions. If you would like to make an appointment to see a physician, please contact the endocrinology or diabetes clinic. |

more about Clinical Studies
We are actively involved in many clinical studies that cover a broad range of endocrine disorders. Our division is one of two Northern California centers in a major national trial designed to identify factors predictive of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, screen families with diabetes, and treat affected individuals before the development of the disease. ANNUAL DIABETES DAY!
Please join us on April 5th, 9 AM to 3 PM. Letter & Directions JOIN OUR MAILING LIST!
