DRTC Albert Einstein College of Medicine Prevention & Control Core :

The Einstein DRTC Prevention and Control (P&C) Division provides the necessary linkages from basic science, through efficacy studies and epidemiology, into the realm of applied effectiveness and translational research for broad implementation. The collective expertise of its faculty spans health promotion, self-management behaviors, lifestyle interventions for obesity, evaluation, clinical diabetes research and biostatistics. The Einstein Diabetes Center faculty were integral to development of the lifestyle and medication adherence interventions in the DPP. The P&C Division provides core support across a broad range of research and community projects for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in diabetes and related conditions. Through two distinct translation cores, this division provides the focal point for addressing health disparities among the minority populations and underserved communities. Elizabeth A. Walker, DNSc, RN, CDE is P&C director and provides scientific direction and expertise in educational and behavioral science, health services, clinical nursing research, and promotion of collaborations with health disparities initiatives. Judith Wylie-Rosett, EdD, RD, director of the Translation and Effectiveness Core, is a nationally-recognized expert in lifestyle interventions for obesity and weight control. Harry Shamoon, MD, director of the Clinical Research Facilitation Core, provides a broad background in diabetes clinical trials and translational research.
