Dr. Michael Clare-Salzler
Omega 3 Metabolism and Effects on Inflammation in Infants at High Risk for Autoimmune Diabetes
Dr. Clare-Salzler received his medical degree and internal medicine training from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He began his clinical endocrinology and immunology research career at the University of California in Los Angeles, where he studied the immunopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. His major research focus is on the role of antigen-presenting cells in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. He is the author of more than 100 publications, and the National Institutes of Health and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fund his research. He serves on several NIH committees and national advisory boards. He also holds several patents derived from his research. Dr. Clare-Salzler maintains an active practice in endocrinology, treating patients with diabetes and other endocrine diseases. He participates in many clinical trials, including the PANDA infant screening program and the Diabetes Prevention Trial for T1D.
