Leadership

Our physician-in-chief, Edward McCabe, M.D., Ph.D., always has time in his schedule to meet with a resident - to listen to a concern, to guide you to an appropriate fellowship program, or to find a position in a practice, whether local or far away. You can talk to him after Morning Report or Grand Rounds, and when he is on the floors of the Mattel Children's Hospital.
Or, you'll find him in his lab. Dr. McCabe first identified the gene for adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC), and he studies how the AHC gene regulates the development of the adrenal gland. McCabe affirms that "It was our concern for our patients that started us on this path. It is very gratifying to apply our work directly to affected patients." He adds, "Research of all types - clinical investigation, health services research, and bench work - advance our understanding of the developing child in health and disease. We are privileged to be able to work with such courageous kids and their families. |
