Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine secured $178 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2019, with $14.7 million in funding granted to researchers in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. The Division carries out ongoing clinical, basic science, translational and behavioral research in a range of endocrine science areas, including diabetes and aging research, along with emerging opportunities in thyroid, metabolic bone disease and neuroendocrine research.
Our NIH-funded research centers include the Einstein Sinai Diabetes Research Center, home to more than 120 faculty laboratories conducting basic, translational and clinical research in diabetes, obesity and metabolism; the New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research, specializing in bio-psychosocial and behavioral research, with a focus on the social determinants of health; the Institute for Aging Research and Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging, which conducts basic, translational and clinical research; and the Global Diabetes Institute, which establishes strategic global partnerships for research on lean diabetes and improving diabetes education.
Endocrinology Fellows become familiar with research in their first year under the stewardship of Sofiya Milman, MD, Associate Program Director for Research. Depending on their experience and future career interests, fellows can choose to initiate their own research project or join an ongoing project, working with helpful and experienced mentors. Fellows also participate in didactic seminars on research methodology, scientific writing and quality improvement studies. During their training, fellows gain valuable research experience, and most contribute to their field by presenting their findings at regional or national conferences or in a manuscript.

Live and work close to the best of everything
The Bronx, New York City’s northernmost borough, is a culturally rich neighborhood placed at the intersection of Manhattan and its surrounding regions. Our postgraduate trainees typically live in hospital housing or off-site in nearby Riverdale, Lower Westchester or Manhattan, and have access to an unmatched diversity of experiences beyond the program itself.
In the Bronx, with its ample parks and gardens, you’ll learn first-hand why it’s known as “the City’s Greenest Borough.” The neighborhood offers plenty of local food, art, sports and culture, and is just a subway ride away from Manhattan’s famed theaters, museums and attractions.
As a resident of the Tri-State region, you’ll have unmatched access to the city’s cultural offerings, not to mention the bounty of outdoor excursions that are available just beyond. Day-trips and weekend excursions to the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Long Island or New Jersey provide ample opportunities for swimming, hiking, biking, skiing and other seasonal activities.
