Simon Fisher

Simon Fisher is a Professor at the University of Kentucky's School of Medicine, serving as Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Vice Chair of Research and Innovation in Internal Medicine, and Deputy Director of the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center. His research focuses on hypoglycemia, insulin signaling in the brain, and metabolic complications in diabetes. He is affiliated with the Department of Endocrinology and joint faculty in Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences.

• MD, PhD from University of Toronto
• Residency and Fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School

Fisher’s research explores the neuroendocrine mechanisms of glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia-induced complications. His work bridges molecular biology to clinical diabetes management, with recent studies on continuous glucose monitoring systems, autoimmune disease modulation, and designer insulin analogs.

Recent publications emphasize hypoglycemia-induced cardiac arrhythmias, brain insulin signaling pathways, and metabolic comorbidities in cancer patients.
