Neda Laiteerapong, MD, MS is a practicing general internist and researcher in the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago. Dr. Laiteerapong's work focuses on improving the understanding of how the quality of life in older adults with diabetes is affected by geriatric syndromes, hypoglycemia and macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes.  To examine this area, she uses data gathered from patient surveys and secondary data sources including pharmacy and health claims by Kaiser Permanente Northern California managed care.  She has also used diabetes microsimulation models to evaluate the effects of delays in achieving blood pressure control in adults with diabetes.  Currently she is studying how patients with diabetes incorporate the concept of time in their decisions to start intensive treatments now or later. Additionally, she has co-authored articles about the public health implications of bariatric surgery for diabetes treatment and the effects of health care reform on the delivery of chronic disease care. Dr. Laiteerapong completed medical school at the Boston University School of Medicine.

Dr. Philipson is an endocrinologist and a leading world authority on diabetes mellitus. In 2011, he was named as one of America's Top Doctors by U.S. News & World Report magazine, and in 2016 Chicago Magazine named him a Top Doctor in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. His research focuses on the biophysical, molecular and genetic aspects of insulin secretion, and the genetics of diabetes.
Dr. Philipson was a co-discoverer of insulin gene mutations causing neonatal diabetes, a novel class of mutations causing diabetes through beta-cell ER stress. These mutations are now known to be the second most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes, as well as rare causes of later-onset diabetes. Dr. Philipson, together with his colleagues (Drs. Graeme Bell, Siri Atma Greeley and Rochelle Naylor) established the first United States registry for monogenic diabetes including neonatal diabetes and Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY).
 
Dr. Philipson is co-director of the Human Islet Transplantation project at the University of Chicago. He has served as principal investigator on numerous research projects and has been widely published in biomedical journals.
 
As president of the Chicago/Northern Illinois board of the American Diabetes Association and also a member of its national board, Dr. Philipson has been an invited speaker and presenter at scientific research conferences and symposia worldwide.
