Dr. Timothy K. Flannery, Pediatric Endocrinology

At the forefront of innovative pediatric endocrinology research, Dr. Flannery has a special interest in diabetes and growth disorders in children. After spending many years in the clinical setting, Dr. Flannery now dedicates much of his time and efforts to researching growth disorders, pituitary and hyposthenic disorders, and calcium disorders.

Among his investigations, Dr. Flannery’s research has included the effect of growth hormone on cytokines in Crohn’s disease funded by the PSF Tithe Research Award. He was involved in a drug study for Crohn’s disease funded by Novo Nordisk and a Genentech investigator study trial looking at the growth hormone effect on bone density in adult cystic fibrosis.
