Monika Niewczas, MD PhD MPH is a Principal Investigator in the Section on Genetics and Epidemiology at Joslin Diabetes Center and an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, Boston. For the last 20 years diabetic complications-oriented translational projects have been the major focus of her research at Joslin. Her laboratory uses high-throughput molecular approaches (proteomics or metabolomics) together with advanced clinical epidemiology tools to search for potential determinants of the disease course focusing on diabetic foot and kidney complications. She completed her MD and PhD at Medical University of Warsaw, Poland and her MPH at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She is a Steering Committee member of the Diabetic Foot Consortium and pursues an R61/R33 funded project (MPI, Niewczas, Veves) to study proteomics determinants of diabetic wound healing course. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers.
