Interests Dr. Kargi’s research interests focus on better understanding the biology of the pituitary gland and its hormones. He is also interested in improving diagnostic methods and medical therapies for patients with pituitary disorders. He looks forward to growing the department’s outcomes research and clinical trials programs. He plans to collaborate with other researchers at the UNC Medical Center to design and conduct research regarding the complex molecular biology that causes pituitary tumors to occur and grow. The ultimate goal of his molecular and genetic studies would be to develop new targets for pituitary tumor treatment.
