He is trained (and still practices) as a diabetologist, endocrinologist and internist. However, following research training in the UK and the United States, his main focus lies in using human genetic discovery as a tool for developing an improved understanding of the biological basis of common diseases including type 2 diabetes and obesity. He plays a leading role in major research efforts in this area including the UK-based Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium and the more global T2D-GENES Consortium.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. McCarthy holds medical degrees from the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, the Society of Biology and the Academy of Medical Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Other Members<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_basic_grid post_type=&#8221;page&#8221; max_items=&#8221;10&#8243; gap=&#8221;15&#8243; item=&#8221;1019&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1539704741412-a115cdce-d0bb-6&#8243; taxonomies=&#8221;114&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Turner Professor of Diabetes, University of Oxford;Chairman and Head of the Oxford Centre for Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4621,"parent":59,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,17],"tags":[114],"class_list":["post-310","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about","category-founding-working-groups","tag-noncommunicable-disease-ncd-working-group"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3995,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/310\/revisions\/3995"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/h3africa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
