Background

Andrew J Bauer, MD, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania and serves as the director of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Thyroid Center. Dr. Bauer completed his undergraduate at Canisius College and his medical degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine. He completed his pediatric training at Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, Tacoma, WA and his pediatric endocrine training at the National Capital Consortium, Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD. In 2013, Dr. Bauer retired from the United States Army after 33 years of credible service, to include two combat tours in Iraq.

Dr. Bauer’s clinical and research interests span across the spectrum of pediatric thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance and transport disorders, thyroid nodular disease, thyroid cancer, and familial thyroid tumor syndromes. Within this field, he has published more than 120 manuscripts, chapters and reviews and is a regularly invited lecturer and visiting professor at international meetings and academic institutes. In 2019, Dr. Bauer established a translational science research program to better define the molecular landscape of pediatric thyroid cancer focused on improving the diagnosis and treatment. Within the past year, Dr. Bauer and his team launched an international Child and Adolescent Thyroid Consortium to expand multicenter collaboration. Dr. Bauer serves as a medical consultant for the Thyroid Cancer Survivors Association and as the thyroid consultant for the International Pleuropulmonary blastoma/DICER1 registry. Dr. Bauer maintains active membership in the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, and the American Thyroid Association (ATA) where he is currently serving as chair of the ATA pediatric thyroid nodule and thyroid cancer guidelines.
