Personal History
Dr. Silver received her MD degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She completed her residency in internal medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and her fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Silver is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and Metabolism. Dr. Silver joined the faculty at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1997.
Research Interests
Dr. Silver is involved in both basic and clinical research programs. Dr. Silverâ?Ts basic research is directed at understanding the role of pancreatic beta cells in the development of diabetes mellitus. Her research projects include studies to identify genes important for insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes as well as studies to identify genes responsible for rodent models of insulin deficiency diabetes. Her clinical research projects include examining predictors of the development of post transplant diabetes, assessing the role of blood sugar control on outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing kidney transplantation and testing novel methods of glucose control in inpatients with hyperglycemia. In addition to research, Dr. Silver remains active in patient care seeing patients with diabetes and other endocrine problems. Additionally, she has headed a number of initiatives to improve inpatient diabetes care at UMMC.
