Summary
Dr. Lisa Chow finished medical school at the University of Minnesota in 1999 and completed an internal medicine residency and endocrinology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. She joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2006 and completed a Master’s in Clinical Research in 2011. Dr. Chow is actively engaged in clinical research and is especially interested in the effects of lifestyle intervention (dietary changes, exercise) to treat insulin resistance and diabetes. She is also highly interested in mentoring the next generation of scientists by serving as the Director of the T32 training program for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota.
