Condition: Healthy Volunteers
Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We are conducting a research study on how insulin controls blood sugar in both healthy people and those at risk of type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, aged 18-65, who have body mass indices either in the lean range (18-25 kg/m2) or in the obesity range (30-45 kg/m2) but who do not have pre…

Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Currently Recruiting
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to temporarily induce or accentuate…

MAP is a research study looking at whether metformin can help prevent memory decline for people with mild memory concerns. You may be able to join if: you are 55-90 years old, you or your loved ones have noticed some changes in your memory, and you are not already being treated for diabetes or dementia. Potential benefits: You…

We are recruiting boys between 3-9 years old and girls between 3-8 years old to participate in a research study. Children who would like to participate must be healthy and not showing signs of puberty. The goal of the study is to understand the relationship between early body development, metabolism (sugars and fats processing), and the saliva microbiome (…

We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, aged 18-70, who are overweight or obese with a body mass index of 27-50, and have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for…

Status: Currently Recruiting
The Department of Ophthalmology is conducting an NIH-funded study of vitreous floaters. Adults with or without floaters will be qualified for this study. We are specifically interested in myopes (nearsighted people) and diabetics as well as candidates for cataract surgery in addition to normal subjects. The study will involve routine measurements of axial…

The overall goal of this project is to assess the role of rest-activity patterns on glucose control, body composition, and well-being. We are currently looking for non-smoking men and women, age 25 years or older and with pre-diabetes (HbA1c 5.7-6.9%) to participate in this study. You must regularly sleep at least 6 hours/…

As an academic medical center, we are always working to improve patient and population health. One way that research is supported here is through the Columbia University Biobank (CUB). A biobank is a collection of biological samples and health data that is collected during a patient's medical care. The goal of a biobank is to provide materials for…

Investigator: Joshua Cook, MD, PhD
Status: Closed
We're conducting a research study on how much insulin is needed to control blood sugar in people who are made temporarily resistant to insulin's effects. Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin levels may…

We are conducting a research study on how much insulin is needed to control blood sugar in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, aged 18-65, who are overweight or obese with a body mass index of 25-45 and have been diagnosed with or are at risk for prediabetes.…
