He is the Director of the Clinical Trials Office, which is dedicated to facilitating research to improve the care of children, adolescents and adults.
Clinically Dr. Spigarelli's interests include: body image, eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and related conditions), adolescent development, pubertal development, adolescent gynecology, psychosocial development, media related exposures, complex conditions associated with adolescence, preventative medicine and young adult care. He will see patients in consultation that have expressed or suspected issues in any of those areas.
His academic and research interests include understanding body image and the role it plays in self-worth and self-esteem, developing and expanding the knowledge of pharmacology in children, adolescents and pregnant women, as well as improving the delivery of personalized care (right therapy for the right person at the right dose, the right time and the right value). This explores the interface between development, disease process and treatment.
