Dr. steinle's long standing interest has been in nutrition, diabetes and obesity, and understanding the pathophysiology underlying these conditions and developing effective preventive and treatment strategies. 

Dr. Steinle is an experienced endocrinologist and nutrition expert.  As interim Chief of the Endocrine and Diabetes Section of the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center (BVAMC), she leads a team of clinicians providing 2.000 diabetes and endocrine patient care visits annually. She leads a clinical diabetes prevention program at the BVAMC, which was one of 3 centers selected nationally to implement the clinical program and to collect data to evaluate the translational process and clinical outcomes. Her other research interests include exploring genetic contribution to chronic disease including hypertension, obesity, diabetes and eating behavior; as well as translating basic science into practices that will optimize patient care and prevention of chronic disease. She was the first to publish a linkage analysis of eating behavior, and to provide evidence that these traits are heritable. Her collaborative studies have demonstrated a link between genetic variation in T2R genes and glucose homeostasis, and thyroid function, as well as to the eating behavior trait disinhibition in the Old Order Amish. 

She is very involved in medical student training at UMB and nationally.  She is a member of the American Society of Nutrition’s Nutrition in Professional School committee.  She serves as clinical co course director of UMB’s Cell and Molecular Biology course for first year medical students. She is course master of a required 2 week clinical nutrition block for Family and Community Medicine residents as well as a one month nutrition elective for medical students.  Most relevant to this project, she serves as PI for the SPORT program, and is responsible for the program in terms of content, structure and organization, including recruitment and student selection, mentor recruitment, as well as program evaluation.
