Ananta Addala
Instructor, Pediatrics - Endocrinology and Diabetes
Bio I am a physician scientist addressing disparities in type 1 diabetes (T1D) management and outcomes. My research interests are at the intersection of T1D and inequities evaluating system-level and individual-level contributors to T1D disparities. My longstanding research and clinical interests are to promote equitable care for youth with T1D informed by the biological, social, psychological, and systemic determinants of health.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests Prevention of osteoporosis begins in childhood and adolescence by measures that maximize acquistion of bone mineral during the critical adolescent years. Body mass, calcium nutriture, physical activity, growth and sex steroid hormones, and genetic factors are all thought to be important determinants of bone mass although the relative contribution of each remains controversial.

Danny Hung-Chieh Chou
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research program integrates concepts of chemical biology, protein engineering and structure biology to design new therapeutic leads and generate probes to study biological processes. A key focus of our lab is insulin, an essential hormone in our body to reduce blood glucose levels. We generate synthetic libraries of insulin analogs to select for chemical probes, and investigate natural insulin molecules (e.g. from the venom of fish-hunting cone snails!) to develop novel therapeutic candidates. We are especially interested in using chemical and enzymatic synthesis to create novel chemical entities with enhanced properties, and leverage the strong expertise of our collaborators to apply our skill sets in the fields of cancer biology, immunology and pain research. Our ultimate goal is to translate our discovery into therapeutic interventions in human diseases.
