Dr. Kopp received his MD degree from the University of Berne, Switzerland in 1985. He completed his training in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology at the same institution. In 1993, he joined the Division of Endocrinology at Northwestern University. His clinical activities focus on patients with thyroid dysfunction and thyroid cancer, and he is a member of the Thyroid Panel of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Dr. Kopp's research interests focus primarily on the molecular basis of congenital thyroid disorders and thyroid hormone synthesis.
