My work involves the natural history, diagnosis, and therapy of patients with neuroendocrine tumors such as carcinoid tumors and pheochromocytomas. I also am interested in research aspects of diabetes, adrenal cortical disease and pituitary gland disease. My approach has been to make detailed biochemical measurements on patients with the above described diseases in my research lab over my 30 years at Duke. I am now preparing manuscripts containing correlation of data with clinical illness. My data bases contain information on 793 patients with carcinoid tumors and 130 patients with pheochromocytoma.

I have done and continue to do post marketing clinical trials on hypoglycernic medications, octreotide, and alpha interferon. I am recognized as a national expert on neuroendocrine tumors as well as diabetes mellitus.

Key words: Neuroendocrine Tumors, carcinoid tumors, pheochromocytonics, diabetes, hypoglycemic agents, serotonin, catecholamines.
