Meet the Endos

Nikki Danis, MSN, RN, CPNP

I’m a pediatric nurse practitioner at Washington University in the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes. I have type 1 diabetes and for fun I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, and trying new food.

Neil White, M.D.

Dr. White’s research interests have focused on diabetes mellitus for nearly four decades. This includes clinical and translational research related to diabetes mellitus, both type 1 and type 2, in children and adolescents. Much of his research has been through active participation in multicenter NIH-supported clinical trials including DCCT/EDIC, DPP/DPPOS, TODAY, DirecNet, TRIGR and TrialNet. He has national leadership roles in DirecNet and TODAY. He has had an ongoing interest in: 1) methods of intensive therapy in type 1 diabetes; 2) the risks associated with hypoglycemia in diabetic subjects, including effects on brain structure and function; 3) studies of diabetes prevention; and 4) psychosocial interventions in teenagers with diabetes.  He also has roles at Washington University in St. Louis in the Center for Diabetes Translation Research (CDTR), the Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences ICTS) and the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC).
