Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Daniel Mak's research focuses on pediatric endocrinology and related health issues, with a particular emphasis on metabolic disorders and infectious diseases. He has investigated the epidemiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Sub-Saharan Africa and examined the risks and management considerations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric patients, including its association with endocrine disorders. His work also addresses obesity and liver steatosis in children with type 1 diabetes and explores the role of insulin resistance in dilated cardiomyopathy within pediatric populations. Mak has also evaluated protocols for managing diabetes insipidus in pediatric neurosurgical patients and surveyed current practices for using contrast agents in pediatric brain MRI. His recent work includes trends in glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist utilization for weight management in children.
