Schwartz’s research program is to investigate the hypothesis that the brain plays an essential role to promote homeostasis of both energy balance and glucose metabolism in response to afferent input from adiposity- and nutrient-related signals. Role of the Brain in the Pathogenesis of Obesity, Insulin Resistance and Type 2 DiabetesĪ major focus of Dr. Schwartz’s research focuses on hypothalamic and neuroendocrine control of energy balance and glucose metabolism, and on CNS mechanisms involved in obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. He is also former director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) at UW.ĭr. He serves as Director of the UW Medicine Diabetes Institute, is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians, is the recipient of numerous awards and serves on several editorial boards. Schwartz has been continuously funded by the NIH and other sources to study brain mechanisms governing body weight regulation, glucose homeostasis, obesity and diabetes for over 25 years, with >250 publications in these areas. In addition to many years of clinical teaching and patient care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Dr. Daniel Porte, Jr., at UW, was completed in 1990. His fellowship training in Endocrinology and Metabolism, undertaken in the lab of Dr. Schwartz received his MD from Rush Medical College in 1983 and completed his residency in Medicine at UW in 1986.
