Biography

Brian J. Feldman received his MD and PhD from Stanford University, followed by residency training in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard University. He completed a fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). In 2018, he moved to UCSF as the inaugural Walter L. Miller Endowed Chair in Pediatric Endocrinology after launching an independent research laboratory at Stanford. His research focuses on the role of steroid hormones in cell fate determination, particularly glucocorticoid-induced circadian alterations in carbohydrate metabolism and the genesis of brown fat, with implications for obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
