Experience

More than four decades of experience in diabetes research and clinical practice endorse the outstanding career of Dr. Om Ganda. He was part of one of the most important trials in this field, the 1993 DCCT, which demonstrated the importance of glucose control in the prevention of complications in type 1 diabetes. Likewise, his numerous contributions to this area have led to outstanding advances in optimal glucose control in patients with diabetes. In recent years he has directed his research focus to the study of the effects of Omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health and the improvement of treatments for people with difficulties in maintaining a diet or exercising. 

He has more than 100 scientific publications in the area of Diabetes, the most cited being those related to the development of a comprehensive care plan for Diabetes Mellitus (in collaboration with the American Society of Clinical Endocrinologists), the insulin resistance syndrome or the treatment of dyslipidemia and prevention of atherosclerosis. 

His extensive experience has led him to direct, as medical director, the Lipid Clinic of the Joslin Diabetes Center, where he has also been coordinator of the Endocrinology Consultation Service and coordinator of the Clinical Diabetes and Metabolism conferences. He balances these responsibilities with his aforementioned work in the field of research, being an active part of the Joslin Research Laboratory. 

He is also an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, having served as a Clinical and Research Fellow at Harvard, Boston Veterans Administration Hospital and Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
