About Siri Atma Greeley MD, PhD
Siri Atma Greeley, MD, PhD, is an instructor of pediatrics in the section of Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Chicago. He completed his undergraduate education at Columbia University in New York before earning his medical degree and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
In his current research, Dr. Greeley hopes to shed light on the spectrum of diabetes in childhood. His focus is on monogenic diabetes (diabetes caused by a single gene mutation), which can be difficult to distinguish from the more common types. Neonatal diabetes that occurs in the first few months of life commonly has an underlying monogenic cause and can often be treated with pills instead of insulin (http://kovlerdiabetescenter.org/registry). Dr. Greeley is helping to establish the University of Chicago as a national center for the study of monogenic diabetes.
