Mount Sinai Health System Appoints New Chief for Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease Mount Sinai Health System Appoints New Chief for Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease mountsinai.org /about-us/newsroom/press-releases/mount-sinai-health-system-appoints-new-chief-for-division- of-endocrinology-diabetes-and-bone-disease New York, NY – May 31, 2017 /Press Release/ –– Andrea Dunaif, MD, an internationally renowned diabetes and women’s health expert, has been appointed the new Chief for the Hilda and J. Lester Gabrilove Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Bone Disease for the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Dunaif replaced Derek Leroith, MD, PhD, who has served as interim chief for the last year. In her new role, Dr. Dunaif will build on Mount Sinai’s considerable strengths in research on diabetes, metabolism, and endocrine disorders. Dr. Dunaif also plans to expand Mount Sinai’s comprehensive clinical services for patients with diabetes and other endocrine disorders, including its artificial pancreas program. Dr. Dunaif is an exceptional physician and researcher in the field of diabetes and women’s health,” said Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and President for Academic Affairs, Mount Sinai Health System. “We look forward to her help in building on our long and distinguished tradition of excellence in research and education in the field of endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease.” Dr. Dunaif comes to Mount Sinai from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago, where she is the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism and was the Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Molecular Medicine for 10 years. Prior to joining Northwestern, she held a number of leadership positions in academic medicine, including Chief of the Division of Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Director of Harvard Medical School’s Center of Excellence in Woman’s Health, and Director of the Center for Clinical Research at Northwestern. “Dr. Dunaif is a world-renowned endocrinologist with clinical and research expertise on diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I look forward to working with her as she transforms the management of our patients with diabetes and brings cutting-edge, transformational research in PCOS and women’s health to Mount Sinai,” said Barbara Murphy, MD, System Chair, Department of Medicine, Mount Sinai Health System, and Murray M. Rosenberg Professor of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Dunaif is leading an international effort to map the genes for PCOS, a leading cause of diabetes in women. She will continue this important research and other work in diabetes and insulin resistance at Mount Sinai. “I’m very excited to return to Mount Sinai, where I began my academic career in 1982 as an Instructor in the Departments of Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology,” said Dr. Dunaif. “I look forward to working with the outstanding faculty at Mount Sinai and to collaborating closely with the scientists in the Mount Sinai Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Institute.” Dr. Dunaif has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health as a principal investigator for more than 30 years. She has received a multitude of awards and honors, including election to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians. She is a member of numerous advisory and editorial boards and committees. She is a former president of the Endocrine Society, the largest global organization for endocrinology. She received her medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and completed her 1/2 internship and residency training at Presbyterian Hospital. She completed a clinical and research fellowship in endocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she also did a clinical and research fellowship in medicine and gynecology. She holds an honorary Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Athens Medical School.

    ONE DEPARTMENT, ONE MISSION Department of Medicine TABLE OF CONTENTS From the Chair 1 Our Missions 2 Our Divisions 7 Leadership Appointments 46 Outstanding Achievements 50 Advisory Board 52 onevision novel, flexible, proactive department To say that the past year was complex is an understatement. Recently, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai merged with the Beth Israel Medical Center, Beth Israel Brooklyn, St. Luke’s and Roosevelt Hospitals, and New York Eye and Ear Infirmary to become one academic medical center. Today, this newly unified Department of Medicine is an integral and vital part of the expanded Mount Sinai Health System. The Department of Medicine is now one of the largest, multidimensional academic training grounds in the country, encompassing 12 divisions across seven campuses. We have more than 2,000 physicians, 400 residents, 300 fellows and 1,000 employees in our department and a budget of nearly $350 million. But don’t be intimidated by our enormous size or big numbers; rather, be inspired by the possibilities that such a dynamic and evolving department can create. Although it has been challenging, this merger has given us an opportunity to create one novel, flexible, and proactive department dedicated to excellence in all disciplines. We are in a unique position of being able to fulfill our tripartite mission of providing excellent care; driving change in health care delivery through scientific innovation; and training tomorrow’s physicians to provide that care. And we should now reexamine all of our assumptions about how patient care is provided; how we train future physicians; and how we turn the phrase “bench-to-bedside” into a reality rather than just a clever marketing expression.
