Dr. Morey Haymond is Section Chief for Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism and Vice-Chairman for Research in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. He also serves as Program Director for the Child Health Research Center and Program Director for the Baylor Clinical Scientist Training Program.

Dr. Haymond's research interests are focused in the substrate and hormone regulation of glucose and amino acids metabolism in humans. His current research includes studying the metabolic effects of obesity and the effects of interventions (e.g., exercise on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in obese adolescents as a prerequisite in defining strategies for preventing insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism), determining the best treatment options for children with type 2 diabetes, and exploring the metabolic adaptation to lactation.  In addition, he provides the didactic structure and mentoring for M.D. fellows who are committed to academic careers in pediatric diabetes research.

Dr. Haymond is the recipient of many awards including America's Top Pediatrics from SLD Industries, Inc., Best Doctors from Best Doctors, Inc. and the Charles Best Medal (to members of the DCCT) from the ADA. Dr. Haymond has been on the editorial board of many top publications and journals including Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolism/Clinical and Experimental; Endocrine Reviews; Endocrine Practice; Diabetes Care; and Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. He has also served as the Associate Editor of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
