Dr Libman obtained her MD at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina and then pursued a Masters followed by a PhD in Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon graduation, her clinical interest and desire to become a clinical researcher led her to complete a residency program in pediatrics followed by a fellowship in pediatric endocrinology, both at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. She then joined as faculty. She is currently exploring the effect of overweight and insulin resistance on early CVD risk factors and markers in children with T1DM. Her continued interest in this field has led to her current role as study co-chair of a multicenter US clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of metformin in overweight children with T1DM.
