    About the Symposium

    The 2024 Norman Fleischer NYC Diabetes Symposium will be held on May 3, 2024 at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in NY.

    The primary aim of the Norman Fleischer NYC Diabetes Symposium is to provide a forum that promotes professional interaction and facilitates collaboration across institutions in the New York City Metropolitan Area.

    The Symposium also aims to foster increased awareness of research and to promote multi-site collaborative projects across the many regional institutions. An emphasis is placed on enabling junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, fellows and doctoral students to interact with each other as well as with senior faculty and professionals.

    The Symposium will, create opportunities for researchers to present their work and enhance career opportunities for junior investigators.

    We encourage scientists, clinicians, and other professionals working on diabetes and related traits in academic or other settings to attend the Symposium.

    HAROLD RIFKIN LECTURE

    Kevan Herold, M.D.

    C.N.H. Long Professor of Immunobiology and of Medicine (Endocrinology), Yale School of Medicine

    Dr. Herold's background and research are in translational immunology. He is interested in understanding the basis for autoimmune diseases and developing new therapies based on an understanding of disease mechanisms. Dr. Herlod's focus has largely been in the field of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes. The work encompasses basic laboratory work as well as clinical studies to understand the regulation of autoreactive T cells to clinical trials that involve novel therapeutics with a focus on identifying the immune cells responsible for attacking the pancreatic islets, as well as studying how beta cells respond to these attacks.

     

    As part of these studies the Herold Lab  has been very interested in analysis of beta cell function in Type 1 diabetes and identifying the cellular mechanisms that can protect them from immune killing. His group has also been studying the development of autoimmune diabetes in patients with cancers who are treated with checkpoint inhibitors. Dr. Herold's clinical and basic studies are focused on understanding how beta cells are destroyed and react to inflammation, with the ultimate goal being to stop disease before it progresses to permanent organ damage.
