Eugene J. Fine
<p>Dr. Fine's professional interests have centered on: </p>
<p>Non-invasive measurement of physiologic and molecular function, especially with radiotracer technology. This was applied to the heart and especially to measurement of kidney function and its role and contribution to hypertension; and more recently has focused on radiotracers for diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis, and identification of cancers for appropriate therapy. </p>
<p>The effects of dietary and nutritional manipulation, and especially of reducing carbohydrate content, on altering our metabolic environment. Carbohydrate restriction in humans mimics many of the metabolic effects of fasting, and may be systematically studied using appropriate in vitro, cell culture, animal models and in vivo biochemical and radiotracer techniques. Of particular interest is the potential for differential systemic metabolic effects on normal compared to malignant/transformed cells. </p>

<p>Eugene J. Fine, MD, MS, is an attending physician at Montefiore Einstein and Clinical Professor, Nuclear Medicine at our Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Fine’s clinical focus has centered on heart and kidney function.</p><p>After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in physics at Queens College, City University of New York in 1968, Dr. Fine earned his Master of Science in physics at the University of Pennsylvania in 1971. He then earned his Doctor of Medicine at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center in 1976. Following this, Dr. Fine completed his internal medicine residency at Kings County Hospital in 1978, followed by his nuclear medicine residency at Brooklyn VA Hospital, Downstate Medical Center in 1980. To continue his medical training, Dr. Fine completed a fellowship in cardiovascular and renal nuclear medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1981, where he was Chief Resident of nuclear medicine.</p><p>Dr. Fine’s research focuses on studying aggressive cancer treatments employing an insulin-inhibiting ketogenic diet in human trials as well as in animals and cell culture. He also studies these dietary interventions when coupled with selected cancer drugs. His past research focused on cardiac and renal function where he employed non-invasive measurement of physiologic and molecular function using radiotracer technology. Dr. Fine has been principal investigator and co-investigator on a number of funded research projects, and his work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, articles, textbooks, abstracts and letters. Dr. Fine is an editor and reviewer for national and international scientific journals, including the <em>Journal Of Neuroparasitology</em>, the <em>Journal of Nuclear Medicine</em> and the <em>European Journal of Nuclear Medicine</em>, among others.</p><p>Dr. Fine is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Nuclear Medicine. He is a member of several professional societies, including the American College of Nuclear Physicians, the American College of Physicians and the Metabolism Society, among others.
