    Research Overview

  • The focus of Dr. Ovalle's research over the last 25+ years has been the areas of diabetes and energy metabolism and involves extensive experience in clinical trials concerning the pharmacologic management of diabetes mellitus and its complications, the effects of diet on insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism, and the study of novel therapies for type 1 diabetes. He is also interested in Precision Medicine in Diabetes including the study of the epidemiology, classification, phenotyping, and pathophysiology of the less well understood sub-types of diabetes mellitus, including Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of the Adult, Monogenic Diabetes, Lipodystrophy Syndromes, Atypical Diabetes and their differences in terms of predisposition for the development of complications and their response to therapy.
