Daniel L Metzger

MD

Investigator and Pediatric Endocrinologist, BC Children's Hospital

My research is primarily involved in the development, prevention and treatment of type 1 (insulin-dependent or juvenile-onset) diabetes. I am an investigator in several multicenter clinical trials involved in preventing type 1 diabetes.

I also maintain our Division's large website providing resources for families of children with diabetes and other endocrine disorders, and for the professionals caring for these patients.

Working with local and provincial resources, I have helped initiate an endocrine treatment program for transgender youth, and I am a Co-Investigator on a pan-Canadian study of these youth and their families (Trans Youth CAN!).
