Research 
The  focus of his work has been patient-oriented research in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) and related metabolic and endocrine disorders.   Most of his >980 original articles, chapters and reviews are related to clinical and translational studies in diabetes. As Chair of the Diabetes Research in Children’s Network, Co-Chair of the JDRF CGM Study Group, and Vice Chair of the T1D Exchange Registry, he has been  involved in studies related to continuous glucose monitoring and other advanced diabetes technologies, as well as  randomized clinical trials of new drugs for adolescents with type 2 diabetes.

He was the first to demonstrate that insulin infusion pumps  markedly improve control of type 1 diabetes ). He then used pump therapy as a tool to show that many of the surrogate biomarkers of diabetic complications were reversed by intensive insulin therapy. Subsequently, with colleague Robert Sherwin, he helped form Kroc Study Group that carried out the feasibility study for the DCCT (a pivotal longitudinal diabetes study of intensive management that then evolved to the EDIC Study.
