Professional Interests

<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>
