Biography

    Emily J. Gallagher, MD was appointed as Assistant Professor of Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease in July 2012. Her main interest is in studying the links between obesity, diabetes and cancer, specifically hyperinsulinemia and cancer.

    Dr. Gallagher earned her MB BCh BAO (MD equivalent) from University College Dublin, Ireland and then completed internship and residency in internal medicine, followed by fellowship in Endocrinology at the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. She completed her postgraduate training at Mount Sinai, where she completed a residency in internal medicine and fellowship in endocrinology. During this time she completed her research training with Dr. Derek LeRoith examining the links between obesity, diabetes and cancer. She was awarded the Endocrine Fellows Foundation, Fellows Development Research Grant in 2010.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

Dr.Gallagher is not currently required to report Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website at http://icahn.mssm.edu/about-us/services-and-resources/faculty-resources/handbooks-and-policies/faculty-handbook. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
