The journal publications and the book chapter listed below, all relate to endocrinology. However, during the pandemic, Dr Stein, diverted his research efforts to assist with the search for treatments for and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
He helped design, establish and lead an investigator initiated post-exposure prophylaxis randomized controlled trial. This was published as:
