About

Sean W. Limesand, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the University of Arizona in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He is also a member of the UA’s BIO5 Institute and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Limesand is nationally and internationally recognized for his work studying fetal endocrinology and metabolism in pregnancy and in pregnancies compromised by pathology such as intrauterine growth restriction and diabetes. His research is focused on defining developmental consequences resulting from a compromised intrauterine environment. Specifically, he is focused on fetal adaptations in insulin secretion and action that when altered in utero create lifelong metabolic complications. Dr. Limesand has lead the charge on prenatal origins of –cell dysfunction as the Principal Investigator for a number of federal and foundation grant awards and published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles on topics related to this research. Keywords: Diabetes, Pregnancy, Perinatal Biology
