Deborah Clegg, PhD, is a professor in the Cedars-Sinai Division of General Internal Medicine
and Department of Biomedical Sciences. Her research focus is on understanding the impact of
sex hormones on energy homeostasis, metabolic function and adipose tissue distribution.
Specifically, her lab researches whether androgens and estrogens are involved in the modulation
of the major bioenergetic or biosynthetic pathways that normally support energy homeostasis and
adipose tissue function. There are sex differences with respect to body fat distribution and
prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. Disease prevalence changes over the course of the
lifespan due to fluctuations in sex hormone levels. During her postdoctoral education at the
University of Cincinnati, Clegg obtained strong guidance in intermediary metabolism, and her
research focused on the consequences of impaired metabolism to energy homeostasis. Clegg
mastered techniques to evaluate physiology in cells and whole animals. As an assistant professor
at the University of Cincinnati, she applied this expertise in physiology where she established
methods to interrogate novel aspects of sex hormones and their impact on metabolism. This work
was funded by a National Institutes of Health R01 grant, which focuses on the role of estrogen in
the central nervous system to regulate food intake and body weight. Clegg's work was later
funded by Society for Women's Health Research's Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex-Differences
Networks. These funds were to be used to focus on sex differences in gene expression in adipose
tissues. New principles emerging from this work suggest that specific metabolic pathways are
influenced by sex hormones and are necessary for the development of adipose tissue function
and metabolism. In July 2014, Clegg joined the faculty at Cedars-Sinai, where she has
established her independent laboratory.

Academic Rank
1. Professor of Medicine
EDUCATION
A Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha graduate of Northwestern University and its Medical
School, Philip E. Cryer came to Barnes Hospital as a house officer in medicine in 1965. After
house staff training and a fellowship in endocrinology and metabolism, and two years at the
Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, Dr. Cryer became Chief Resident in
Medicine at Barnes and joined the Washington University faculty as an Instructor in 1971. He
rose to the rank of Professor of Medicine in 1981 and served as the Irene E. and Michael M. Karl
Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism from 1985 until he became Emeritus in 2014. He
headed the Washington University General Clinical Research Center (and led it through six NIH
site visits) from 1973 to 2006 and was Director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and
Metabolism from 1985 to 2002.
Although he taught in the clinical setting throughout, Dr. Cryers major focus was on research in
humans. He developed a sensitive method for the measurement of epinephrine and studied the
sympathoadrenal system extensively. With Jack Gerich he discovered the physiology of glucose
counterregulation, the mechanisms that normally prevent or rapidly correct hypoglycemia. He
then studied its pathophysiology leading to iatrogenic hypoglycemia in people with diabetes. The
latter studies culminated in his novel concept of hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure in
diabetes and his international leadership in the field.
Dr. Cryers research was recognized by his membership in the American Society for Clinical
Investigation (which he served as vice president) and the Association of American Physicians
and by his receipt of the Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement of the American Diabetes
Association, the Claude Bernard Medal of the European Society for the Study of Diabetes and an
honorary doctorate from the University of Copenhagen. He held NIH R01 research support for
three decades, the last as a MERIT Award, and served on the NIH Metabolism Study Section.
Dr. Cryer is the only person in the 75 year history of the ADA to receive its Banting Medal for
Scientific Achievement, serve as editor-in-chief of its prestigious journal Diabetes and be elected
its President. At the time of his retirement he was honored by the decision of the William and
Elaine Wolff family to endow the Philip E. and Carolyn E. Cryer Professor of Endocrinology
and Metabolism at Washington University.
Dr. Cryer consistently acknowledged his research sponsors, mentors, collaborators, technicians,
research nurses and colleagues, and particularly the 42 postdoctoral fellows who did the bulk of
the work and made it better.
Research Interests
The themes of Dr. Cryers translational research are studies of the physiology of glucose
counterregulation the mechanisms that normally prevent or rapidly correct hypoglycemia and
of its pathophysiology in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and the relationship of the latter to clinical
hypoglycemia in diabetes.
