University of Washington & VA Puget Sound Health Care System
Seattle, Washington


In addition to his role as professor of medicine and adjunct professor of laboratory medicine and pathology at the University of Washington, Dr. Kahn is a staff physician at VA Puget Sound Health Care System, where he practices  and undertakes much of his research. He leads several initiatives at the University of Washington, including directing the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)-funded Diabetes Research Center and NIDDK-funded Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Training Program.

Dr. Kahn’s research focuses on the role of the islet β-cell in the pathogenesis and treatment of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. He performs physiological studies in humans and has an extensive basic research program examining the loss of β-cells in type 2 diabetes. He has participated and held leadership positions in several major clinical trials related to type 2 diabetes, including the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and its follow-up, the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS); Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes); Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Study; and Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE).

Dr. Kahn has received numerous awards for his research, including the Endocrine Society’s Clinical Investigator Award, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ John B. Barnwell Award, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes’ Albert Renold and Claude Bernard awards, and the American Diabetes Association’s Outstanding Achievement in Clinical Diabetes Research Award.
