Eric Felner MD

  • SOM: Peds: Endocrinology
    Professor
  • (404) 785-0935
  • efelner@emory.edu
Head shot of Eric Felner

Academic Appointment

  • Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Emory University School of Medicine
  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

Education

Degrees

  • M.S.C.R. (Master of Science in Clinical Research) from Emory University Graduate School
  • B.Ch.E. (Bachelor of Chemical Engineering) with Honors from Georgia Institute of Technology
  • MD from Emory University School of Medicine

Research

Focus

  • Dr. Felner has three areas of research emphasis, all related to the prevention and/or treatment of diabetes. The first focus involves work with Mark Prausnitz (Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology to study the use of hollow microneedles as a mode of insulin delivery in children with Type 1 diabetes. Dr. Felner has effectively delivered insulin, with less pain, and with a more rapid onset of effect in animal and human studies.
