Professional Interests

Dr. Yaron Tomer is the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Chief Academic Officer at Montefiore Medicine.
He received his M.D. degree magna cum laude from the Sackler School of Medicine of Tel Aviv University and trained in Internal Medicine at Sheba Medical Center, Israel, and in Endocrinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Prior to joining Montefiore Einstein in March 2016, he was Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Bone Disease at Mount Sinai.
Dr. Tomer has served on the editorial boards of Endocrinology and The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, among others. He is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. Dr. Tomer is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the American Thyroid Association’s Sidney H. Ingbar Distinguished Lectureship Award, as well as its Van Meter Award.
<h3>Research</h3>
Dr. Tomer’s research program focuses on the immunogenetic, epigenetic, and environmental mechanisms underlying thyroid autoimmunity, and type 1 diabetes, and on targeting these mechanisms in order to develop novel therapies. His group made several discoveries including identifying new genes and mechanisms underlying the strong association between type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroiditis; demonstrating that CD40 and thyroglobulin are major susceptibility genes for thyroid autoimmunity; identifying a unique amino acid variant in the peptide binding pocket of HLA-DR that is key for the development of thyroid autoimmunity; dissecting the epigenetic mechanisms by which polymorphisms in the thyroglobulin and TSHR genes interact with environmental agents (e.g. viruses) to trigger thyroid autoimmunity; and identifying a novel small molecule that can block antigen presentation in autoimmune thyroiditis.
<h3>Current Projects</h3>
<ol role="list">
<li>Genetic and epigenetic studies in thyroid autoimmunity The Tomer lab mapped several susceptibility genes for autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) including CD40, thyroglobulin, and TSHR. Recent data suggest that variants in regulatory regions of some of these genes interact epigenetically with environmental factors (e.g., viral infections) to trigger disease. Current studies are using epigenomic screening, including whole genome methylation studies and ChiP-seq analyses to study these genetic-epigenetic interactions.</li>
<li>Epigenetic studies in type 1 diabetes Similar studies are utilizing epigenomic screening to analyze epigenetic interactions between known type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes and interferon alpha, a key cytokine secreted during viral infections.</li>
<li>Translational studies in autoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) and type 1 diabetes The Tomer lab discovered that the presence of arginine at position beta-74 of the peptide binding pocket of HLA-DR is critical for the development of AITD. This discovery led to a translational project aimed at blocking thyroid antigen presentation to T-cells by the arginine beta-74 HLA-DR peptide binding pocket as a potential therapy for AITD. Recently, the Tomer lab identified a small molecule, Cepharanthine, that can block antigen presentation and suppress AITD in mouse models. Similar studies are performed in type 1 diabetes where the aim is to block the HLA-DQ8 peptide binding pocket from presenting insulin peptides to T-cells as a novel strategy to treat autoimmune diabetes.</li>
<li>Genetic and functional analyses of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type 3 The co-occurrence of type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroiditis in the same individual is considered a variant of the APS type 3 syndrome. The Tomer lab discovered several new susceptibility genes for APS3. The lab is now analyzing the mechanisms by which these genes predispose to disease.</li>
<li>The role of viruses in triggering autoimmune thyroiditis and type 1 diabetes Certain infections, such as hepatitis C, are associated with autoimmune thyroiditis and diabetes. Current studies are aimed at dissecting the mechanisms by which interferon alpha, the primary cytokine secreted during viral infections, can trigger autoimmune thyroiditis and diabetes in genetically susceptible individuals.</li>

After several years of research on thyroid cancer in Toronto, Canada, she came to Montefiore in 2007, initially as a clinical observer and then as a researcher in the Division of Endocrinology under the direction of Drs. Norman Fleischer and Martin Surks. She graduated from the Internal Medicine Residency Program in 2011, during which her enthusiasm and teaching skills were recognized with the Award for Outstanding House Officer in Internal Medicine. She then completed her Endocrinology Fellowship in 2013 and joined the Einstein Montefiore Division of Endocrinology faculty later that year.
Dr. Tabatabaie is the Clinical Director for Division of Endocrinology. She is also the Director of Fracture Liaison Services, a multi-disciplinary team of Endocrinologist, Geriatricians and Orthopedic Surgeons focused on secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures.  Dr Tabatabaie is one of the founding members of Transgender Interest Group at Montefiore/Einstein. Her clinical research interests include endocrine issues in the elderly, especially metabolic bone disease and osteoporosis, as well as thyroid cancer. She has contributed to the field of endocrinology by writing journal articles, presenting posters at national endocrine meetings, and mentoring medical students, residents and fellows. In recognition of her contributions to medical education, she was accepted into Leo M Davidoff Society in 2019. She also received Department of Medicine's Humanism Award in 2018.

 Clinical Practice:
Dr. Surks restricts his consultative practice to disorders of the thyroid gland, and to other disorders of general endocrinology such as diseases of the pituitary, parathyroid glands, gonads, adrenal glands, and to metabolic bone disease.
 Research Interests:
Historical Summary: Major contributions from thyroid research at Montefiore Medical Center began nearly 100 years ago with findings of Dr. David Marine, Chairman of Pathology, that deficiency of iodine was associated with development of goiter and iodine deficiency diseases that affected hundreds of millions of people around the world His studies initiated iodine supplementation to salt in the US, and elimination of this major health problem. A Medical Physics laboratory, the progenitor of Nuclear Medicine Departments, was established in 1945 and was widely known for the earliest studies of radioactive iodine use to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. From 1960 to 1976, Dr. Jack Oppenheimer published widely on thyroid hormone measurements and metabolism, discovered the nuclear receptor for thyroid hormone and studied its effects on different gene products
Most of Dr. Surks’ research has focused on thyroid physiology, pathophysiology and diseases. For the last five years, he has studied subclinical thyroid diseases, and the characterization of the reference range for serum TSH in human beings.

Expert Summary

Dr. Surks is a thyroid disease expert with 40 years of experience in basic and clinical research, education and patient care. In addition to thyroid disorders, his clinical practice focuses on conditions of the pituitary, parathyroid and adrenal glands and on metabolic bone disease. His recent research has involved subclinical thyroid diseases and determining a reference range for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels in people. 
A noted educator, Dr. Surks led a collaborative project that culminated in a generic “gold standard” curriculum for endocrinology training programs that is used nationwide. He is author of The Thyroid Book and editor of the Atlas of Clinical Endocrinology Volume I: Thyroid Diseases. He has served on the editorial boards of several journals, including Endocrinology and the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and currently is on the editorial board of Thyroid. 
Dr. Surks is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians. He is a former president of the American Thyroid Association and the Association of Program Directors in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. His awards include the American Thyroid Association’s Distinguished Service Award and the Van Meter Award, and the Sidney H. Ingbar Distinguished Service Award of the Endocrine Society. He was also awarded a Mastership by the American College of Physicians in recognition of his contributions to research, education, and teaching.
