Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Institute

The Mount Sinai Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Institute (DOMI) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai was created to find the cure and to develop better therapeutic and prevention strategies for those who suffer from diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndromes. Physician-scientists from departments throughout the Mount Sinai Health System–including Endocrinology, Surgery, Genetics and Genomics, and Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics–are conducting groundbreaking research in the hopes of revolutionizing the approach to all metabolic disorders.
