Dr. Pessin directs the Einstein-Mount Sinai Diabetes Research Center, one of only sixteen NIH-funded diabetes centers of its kind in the country. He guides the research of more than 90 scientists investigating type 1 (formerly juvenile) and type 2 (formerly adult-onset) diabetes. The center also includes training programs and community-based activities in the Bronx. Dr. Pessin’s own research focuses on insulin signaling and the mechanisms contributing to the onset of type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Pessin also studies how adult progenitor cells (cells that have the capacity to differentiate into a specific cell type) influence the development of fat tissue and how mechanical signals influence stem cell development. The findings from such research have led to animal models for studying insulin resistance and diabetes.
El Dr. Pessin es editor asociado de Diabetes, la revista revisada por pares de la Asociación Americana de la Diabetes, y ex editor en jefe de Endocrinología y la Revista Americana de Fisiología - Endocrinología y Metabolismo . Ha recibido el Premio Eli Lilly al Investigador Destacado de la Asociación Americana de la Diabetes y el Premio Mary Jane Kugel de la Fundación Internacional para la Investigación de la Diabetes Juvenil.
