Christopher Nolan is the Director of Diabetes Services in the ACT and a Professor of Endocrinology at the Australian National University Medical School. His main clinical and research interests relate to diabetes, including diabetes in pregnancy. He has previously been President of the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society and a Council Member of the International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Groups. In addition to administrative, clinical and teaching duties in Canberra, he directs an active diabetes research laboratory focussing on islet beta-cell failure in type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and placenta in diabetic pregnancy.
