Dr. McCall received his MD from the Medical College of Wisconsin and his PhD in Neural & Endocrine Regulation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His clinical training was at the Boston University Medical Center where he did his residency in Internal Medicine, his Endocrinology fellowship and was Chief Medical Resident.
He has extensively researched how diabetes and hypoglycemia affect the central nervous system. He has worked with UVA colleagues on a computer-controlled insulin infusion for insulin pumps as an “artificial pancreas” therapy for type 1 diabetes. He has had NIH funded projects for basic scientific work on understanding and reversing defective glucagon counterregulation in type 1 diabetes and for computer algorithms for glycemic control of inpatients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, for early markers of islet dysfunction in people at risk for type 1 diabetes, for a lifestyle type 2 diabetes clinical study using low glycemic meals, active lifestyle and monitoring to improve glycemic control and recently on a study of discrepancies in rural areas in screening for diabetes complications. At Cornell he works as a mentor to junior faculty and doctoral students and teaches courses on nutrition and disease and also writing grants.
His clinical work has focused on diabetes complications and their prevention. Dr. Angela Taylor and he have been co-directors of the Cardiometabolic Risk Network. He has headed a clinical care and research group working on inpatient diabetes control in the ICU.
