Dr. Donner's clinical and research interests have focused on the prevention of complications in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes. For 6 years, he was the Associate Medical Director of the Joslin Diabetes Center affiliate at the University of Maryland, and then Medical Director from 2004 - 2010. After joining the faculty at Johns Hopkins University in 2010, his clinical and research interests became fully dedicated to diabetes. He became the Director of The Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center in 2011. He has been a clinical investigator in a number of NIH- and industry-funded diabetes research trials. Dr. Donner was a co-PI in the NIH-funded Veterans Affairs Implantable Insulin Pump Study, a Co-PI on the NIDDK-funded Diabetes Control and Complications Trial / Epidemiology of Diabetes Intervention and Complications (DCCT / EDIC) Study for 16 years, and Co-PI for the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) for 7 years.
