Welcome first year fellows Hussain, Kontoghiorghes, Lee, and Schulze Goni

I grew up in Houston, Texas and completed my undergraduate degree at Rice University. I then went to medical school at Texas A&M Health Science Center and continued on to do my
internal medicine residency at Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans, LA.

I am excited to join the WashU endocrinology team.

Mariam Hussain, MD

I obtained a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia prior to completing medical school at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. I did my internal medicine training at the University of Tennessee – Nashville.

My clinical interests include all things linked to general endocrinology, though I do have a soft spot for thyroid disease.

I look forward to my training in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism at Washington University in St. Louis!

Christopher Kontoghiorghes, MD

I completed medical school at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and residency at
Columbia University. My clinical interests are lipids, obesity, and diabetes.

I am excited to move back to St. Louis for my endocrinology fellowship!

Laura Lee, MD, MS

I was raised in Guarujá, a city part of the Island of Santo Amaro in Brazil, also known as the Pearl of the Atlantic.

Growing up near the water played a huge role in the development of my swimming career. My love for sports and human physiology combined took me to São Paulo where I completed my residency training in Sports Medicine at the Federal University. 

My clinical interests are exercise physiology and metabolism. 

I’m very excited to start this new chapter of my life at WashU in St. Louis.
