Brigid Gregg, MD.
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Michigan Medicine wiht a joint appointment in Nutritional Sciences
Dr. Gregg received her MD degree from Case Western Reserve University and completed her pediatrics residency and pediatric endocrinology fellowship training at the University of Chicago and Kovler Diabetes Center. She then moved to the University of Michigan to pursue basic and translational metabolic disease research at the Caswell Diabetes Institute.
The Gregg lab is focused on characterizing early life events that predispose individuals to developing metabolic disease, with the ultimate aim of identifying interventions to improve metabolic outcomes in high risk individuals. The Gregg lab uses animal models along with biospecimens from a human mother infant cohort to study how nutritional influences in the neonatal/infancy period can have a long lasting impact on the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, diabetes, and NAFLD. We are also participating in a large study exmaining the impact of maternal blood sugar in pregnancy on human milk composition and infant metabolic risk markers.
