Professional Interests

<p>Dr. Clement Tagoe obtained his medical degree from the University of Ghana Medical School, Ghana, and a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Leeds, UK. His basic science research interests included the study of the role of annexins in cell function and rheumatic diseases, and subsequently the mechanisms of disease in transthyretin amyloidosis using several animal models of transthyretin amyloidosis. His clinical work in the area of transthyretin amyloidosis has greatly illuminated our understanding of the form of amyloidosis associated with the Transthyretin V122I (pV142I) mutation, which is found in about 3 to 4% of African Americans. His current work focuses on the role of autoimmune diseases in fibromyalgia and chronic widespread pain, and in particular the association of these syndromes with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). His work also explores the other musculoskeletal and rheumatic manifestations of autoimmune thyroid disease, including the association with peripheral osteoarthritis and spinal osteoarthritis. These autoimmune syndromes can occur in the absence of thyroid dysfunction and are of particular interest to physicians and patients because AITD is by far the commonest autoimmune disease.</p>

<p><strong>Current Activities:</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Program Director, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Albert Einstein College of Medicine</li>
<li>Director of the Endocrinology Clinic, Montefiore Medical Center</li>
<li>Consultant in thyroid disease and general endocrinology</li>
<li>Research Mentor</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<strong>Clinical Practice:</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<strong>Research Interests:</strong></p>
<p>Historical Summary:&nbsp;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</p>
<p>Most of Dr. Surks&rsquo; 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.&nbsp;</p>

Areas of Expertise
Endocrinology (thyroid)
Expert Summary

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A noted educator, Dr. Surks led a collaborative project that culminated in a generic &ldquo;gold standard&rdquo; curriculum for endocrinology training programs that is used nationwide. He is author of <em>The Thyroid Book</em> and editor of the <em>Atlas of Clinical Endocrinology Volume I: Thyroid Diseases</em>. He has served on the editorial boards of several journals, including <em>Endocrinology</em> and the<em> Journal of Clinical Endocrinology &amp; Metabolism</em>, and currently is on the editorial board of <em>Thyroid</em>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>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&rsquo;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.</p>

Professional Interests

<p>Dr. Shlomo Shinnar is a neurologist, pediatrician and epidemiologist. His expertise focuses on comprehensive epilepsy management, child neurology and epilepsy with a focus on long term studies&nbsp; the prognosis of childhood seizures disorders. He is also an experienced clinical trialist and is the co-director of the Einstein NeuroNEXT cener of Excellence for Clinical Trials in Neurology.<br /><br />Dr. Shinnar conducts research on a variety of topics relating to childhood seizures, including when to initiate and discontinue antiepileptic drug therapy, prognosis following a first seizure, and prognosis following discontinuation of medications in children with seizures.&nbsp;He is also interested in the comorbidities of epilepsy and its impact on chilren and families.&nbsp;He current studies focus on status epilepticus, a life-threatening condition of persistent continuous and unremitting brain seizure lasting longer than 30 minutes.&nbsp; He is also involved in research in autism, an increasingly common neurological condition in childhood.<br /><br />His current research focuses on the consequences of prolonged febrile seizures, the most common seizure seen in children and on the long term outcomes of childhood absence (petit-mal) seizures which are the most common form of epilepsy in children. He is also on the executive commitee of the recentlyfunded ESETT (Established Status Epilepticus Treatment Trial) trial which seeks to determine the optimal therapy for convulsive status epilepticus inchildren and adults when first line therapy with a benzodiazepine has failed.</p>
<p>Dr. Shinnar is the senior editor of the book <em>Childhood Seizures</em> and co-editor of the book <em>Febrile Seizures</em>. He has published over 185 original papers and over 125 reviews and chapters. He is the recipient of the prestigious Research Recognition Award of the American Epilepsy Society and the CURE&nbsp; research award. His continuing research on the Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Children (FEBSTAT) study was recently recognized with the prestigious Javits award by the NINDS.<br /><br /></p>

Research Areas
Dr Shinnar�s research focuses on the outcome of childhood seizures including seizure and cognitive outcomes with an emphasis on status epilepticus. He also focuses on clinical trials in epilepsy and in child neurology.
