Evan Rosen

Broad Institute, Harvard Medical School Institute, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

Dr. Rosen did his undergraduate work at Cornell University and received an MD and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Michigan. He then moved to Boston for a residency in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism at Massachusetts General Hospital.  After completing a post-doctoral fellowship with Bruce Spiegelman at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute he started his own research group at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he is now Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is also an Institute Member of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Dr. Rosen’s lab works on molecular mechanisms related to obesity, adipocyte development, and the molecular basis of insulin sensitivity, with particular emphasis on transcriptional and epigenomic events that affect metabolic health. In addition to his research activities, Dr. Rosen is a practicing endocrinologist.
