Over 30 years of clinical research studies have included most of the major innovations in diabetes. These have contributed to the improvement of the life of people with diabetes and their families, and it continues to be a major interest of the group.
Dr. Einhorn was and is part of almost every pharmaceutical and device development in diabetes since the early 1980s. Seeing something as a twinkle in a researcher’s eye, and then seeing it become a product that helps millions of people has been very rewarding. And writing clinical guidelines that change how people practice is also very gratifying.

Loves all music, but especially rock: "I have been part of a rock ‘n’ roll band since I was 12 years old, and my band of the past 15 years is terrific, with wonderful people. We’ve been able to play in places like the Mangy Moose, which is the Carnegie Hall of ski dive bars in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and other venues where people love the music, dance, get excited and sing. Probably the main thing that moves me is music.

Loves theatre and is a trustee of the famed La Jolla Playhouse: "To be around geniuses in the theater is just amazing. To see theater professionals mount productions and create something brilliant from seemingly thin air is really an amazing thing to witness. Outside of my friends and family, those two creative outlets are where I go for inspiration."
