Areas of Pioneering Research
During his career in research and academic endocrinology, he and his colleagues pioneered the use of antibody and genetic markers to identify those at risk for type-1 diabetes in the general population. He made discoveries of many disease marker antibodies that can predict the onset of life-threatening conditions like Addison’s disease. He was a member of the American Diabetes Association committee that first classified types of diabetes by their causes rather than their treatments. He first described autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS-1) currently used worldwide and identified alcohol induced hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and the mechanism whereby recreational alcohol consumption can lead the shut-down of the liver’s ability to generate glucose needed to fuel brain function.
Areas of Clinical Practice
Dr Maclaren is unique in that he is also an endocrinologist who is both an internist and pediatrician; he has proficiency in general medicine, endocrinology and metabolism in both adults and children for which he treats three generations of families. He practices the full range of endocrinology and metabolism in children and adults.
