John I. Malone, MD, CDE
Professor of Pediatrics and Co-Director of the USF Diabetes Center
Dr. Malone was an undergraduate at the Pennsylvania State University and moved to Philadelphia to obtain his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his pediatric residency and a Fellowship in Metabolic Disorders at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He then served one year as the Chief Resident of Pediatrics at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, before moving to the University of South Florida as the first member of the Department of Pediatrics established by the founding Chairman Lewis A. Barness, MD. He established the first clinic for children with diabetes and other metabolic disorders at Tampa General Hospital in 1972. This became a regional program by 1974 with the support of the Children's Medical Services for the State of Florida. The Universities of Florida, South Florida and Miami collaborated in winning the support of the State for the establishment of Diabetes Centers at the each of those medical schools in 1979. Dr Malone has been a Director of the Center at USF since that time. He has been involved in multicentered clinical research trials as the principal investigator. Some of those trials, (the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications, as well as the Diabetes Prevention Trial-1 were funded by the National Institutes of Health and have significantly influenced the guide-lines for current clinical care. Other clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies have tested the efficacy of Human Insulin's, Insulin analogs, oral hypoglycemic agents, amylin, and agents for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies. This activity has helped establish new effective agents for the current treatment of diabetes. He has also obtained funding from the American Heart Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to conduct basic research to increase the understanding of the basic mechanisms of diabetes and its complications.
