Pat Barlow began her career as a registered nurse working on a diabetes inpatient unit at the University of Michigan Medical Center, where she met Dr. Aaron Vinik. In 1985 she began coordinating clinical research trials for him. When he took the position as Director of Research at the Strelitz Diabetes Center in 1990, he asked her to join him in setting up and administering the clinical research program. She now coordinates a team of researchers working with human subjects to test new and innovative treatments primarily for diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage), as well as conducting training for new clinical research employees. She still runs clinical trials, providing care and monitoring the subjects involved, as well as documenting all study-related data.

Ms. Barlow has worked closely with the research team to describe many of the nuances of diabetic neuropathies. She has been a co-author on numerous scientific articles, abstracts and book chapters. She is a member of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals and is certified by the ACRP as a Clinical Research Coordinator.
