Amnon Schlegel, MD, PhD, EMBA, serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Board certified in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism by the American Board of Internal Medicine, he maintains an active clinical and research profile focusing on metabolic disorders. His educational trajectory includes: BS in Undergraduate Studies from Hofstra University MD, MS, and PhD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine Residency and Internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Fellowship at University of California, San Francisco EMBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology Dr. Schlegel's research centers on molecular mechanisms of metabolism, particularly in diabetes and obesity pathogenesis. His laboratory employs zebrafish, mouse models, and human physiology to investigate transcriptional regulators like FOXN3 and transporters such as SLC16A6. Key contributions include elucidating fasting glucose regulation pathways, ketone body metabolism in cancer, and novel insulin development based on cone snail venom. His work bridges basic science and clinical applications to address type 2 diabetes as a multi-organ pandemic. Analysis of his publication history reveals consistent focus on translational endocrinology, with increasing emphasis on genetic mechanisms of metabolic disease. His recent work integrates population genetics with molecular phenotyping, particularly in FOXN3-related pathways and monocarboxylate transporters, demonstrating strong continuity from basic discovery to clinical case reports. Dr. Schlegel leads an active research laboratory within the University of Utah's Molecular Medicine Program, which fosters interdisciplinary collaboration across the School of Medicine and College of Health. His team investigates novel metabolic pathways with therapeutic potential for diabetes and lipid disorders, operating at the confluence of genetics, biochemistry, and physiology.
