Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism

Support Our Research

Help Us Advance Medical Knowledge - Ways You Can Make A Difference

There are approximately 21 million children and adults in the United States who have diabetes.  Under the new leadership of Dr. Antonio Bianco, joining UM from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, the Division’s focus will include developing a comprehensive diabetes center, including type II diabetes, the most common form of diabetes.  Therefore, the energized team has set the priority for the endocrinology Division to become a leading research and clinical care Division for type I and II diabetes.

Despite many recent advances, there is more research, education, and outreach to undertake.  The Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism needs your support to perform state-of-the-art medical research and outstanding medical education.  We hope you will take this exciting opportunity to join us as partners and good citizens in making an impact on patients and their families.

Comprehensive Type II Diabetes Research Program
Our entire team of researchers and clinicians are focused on improving the lives of those living with diabetes and curing this disease for future generations.  Just recently we have developed a Type II Diabetes Research Program that focuses on innovative basic and clinical research to help prevent, treat, and cure diabetes. Our passion for taking laboratory research to the patients in the clinic is unmatched.   We invite you to learn more about our exciting research and clinical care programs that are helping to improve the lives of those living with diabetes.  Even though our track record of success is notable, our plan for the future is ambitious – and we need your support.

Fund the Dr. J. Maxwell McKenzie Lecture
The Dr. J. Maxwell McKenzie Lecture on thyroid disease was established in memory of Dr. J. Maxwell McKenzie.  Dr. McKenzie arrived at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine in 1981, and served as Chief of Endocrinology for six years and Chairman of the Department of Medicine for thirteen years. He was an accomplished, dedicated and devoted physician and mentor.  The annual lecture continues in perpetuity to educate young minds as well as enhance, refresh and inform the medical community.

Coffee Talk Conversations
Approximately twice a year we invite a small group of patients and donors to the medical campus for an informal conversation about the latest research developments.  During this time we talk about the Division’s clinical and research efforts, ways to improve treatment, what today's research means for tomorrow’s patients, and address any hot topics people may want to bring to the table.  For more information on our upcoming Coffee Talk Conversation, please contact Angelique S.C. Grant, Ph.D. at angelique@miami.edu or (305) 243-5605.
