Dr. Brian Wojeck is an Assistant Professor in the Section of Endocrinology at the Yale School of Medicine. He is affiliated with the Center for Weight Management and holds additional roles in Sleep Medicine and Obesity Medicine. His research focuses on the interrelated conditions of diabetes, obesity, and sleep disorders, particularly exploring how these conditions impact each other and contribute to clinical outcomes.
Dr. Wojeck received his MD from the University of Arizona College of Medicine and an MPH from Emory University. He completed internal medicine residency at the Mayo Clinic and fellowships in sleep medicine and endocrinology at Yale. He is a weight management specialist with board certifications in Endocrinology, Sleep Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Obesity Medicine.
His research interests include polysomnographic predictors of diabetes, the role of weight loss medications in sleep apnea, and the mechanisms linking metabolic disorders to sleep disturbances. Key areas of exploration include how obesity exacerbates sleep apnea and how sleep deprivation influences metabolic health and weight gain.
In his articles, Dr. Wojeck has examined the relationship between sleep apnea severity and diabetes incidence, the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on sleep-related outcomes, and the clinical implications of sleep variations on glucose regulation. These studies highlight the bidirectional relationships between sleep, metabolism, and chronic disease.
While specific grants or awards are not detailed in the provided text, Dr. Wojeck's work contributes to advancing interdisciplinary approaches in metabolic and sleep medicine. His clinical practice emphasizes comprehensive management of patients with interrelated conditions, integrating weight management, endocrine therapies, and sleep interventions.
