Kyriakie Sarafoglou
University of Minnesota Medical School, Attending Physician
Director, Leo Fung Center for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and Disorders of Sex Development (DSD).
Disorders of Sex Development
The Leo Fung Center is the first CAH/DSD multidisciplinary clinical care and research facility in the country where all healthcare providers are onsite for each clinic.
The Center is built upon a unique collaboration between healthcare professionals from various departments at the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota
Department of Health Newborn Screening program (MDH-NBS). The Center addresses the varied and long-term spectrum of clinical needs for patients with CAH and
other rare DSD.
The Center's multidisciplinary health care team, which includes a pediatric endocrinologist/geneticist, pediatric urologic surgeons, OB-GYNs, psychologists
specializing in sexual health, advanced practice and research nurses, genetic counselors, child-life specialists, and a public healthcare coordinator/newborn
screening follow up specialist from the Minensota Department of Health.
Clinical research participation opportunities are available to eligible subjects for new monitoring and treatment modalities. The Center also serves as a resource for
educational materials geared toward patients, parents and primary care providers.

Gerasimos Sykiotis
Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, Clinical & Research Fellow in Reproductive Endocrinology
I have broad interests in the genetics of endocrine diseases, and especially in metabolism and reproduction. I am particularly interested in the role of cellular stress
response pathways in the homeostasis of the endocrine system
