The Department, headed by Prof. W.A. Scherbaum, is located in the University
hospital in Duesseldorf. The clinic has established a special out-patients
department that sees about 2000 patients per year, and an in-patients
department with about 650 patients a year.
The Endocrinology and Diabetes team has five senior
physicians and eight residents. The Diabetes Unit focuses its work
on the care of diabetes-specific complications in type 1 and type
2 diabetes. The endocrinology division has specialised particularly
in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases, disorders of
the adrenal gland and disturbances of bone metabolism. |

The clinicians closely collaborate
with basic scientists of the Laboratory of Endocrinology and Diabetes
which includes laboratories for cell and molecular biology, immunology
and metabolism. The main areas of research are the development of
new methods for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disorders
of the thyroid, the adrenal gland and metabolic diseases such as
obesity and diabetes. Within this research program one group works
on the characterisation of the autoantibody responses in type 1
diabetes, autoimmune |
| thyroid disease, Addison´s disease, and autoimmune
polyglandular syndrome.
In the Action-LADA project the patients will be recruited from a
local collaborative network including general physicians and diabetologists.
