She is passionate about clinical research and has an active investigator-initiated portfolio dedicated to personalized treatment of patients with pituitary tumors. She also has a long track record of involvement in multicentric clinical trials that unveiled novel therapies for Cushing disease and acromegaly. Dr. Ioachimescu is passionate about medical education, and is currently the Education Oversight Committee chair of AACE, a writer for the Endocrine Self-Assessment Program and an associate editor of Pituitary and Endocrine Reviews journals.
