His research focus includes adrenal physiology and pathophysiology, endocrine hypertension, pituitary disease, mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid action and stress research. Professor Reincke is heading a research team specifically exploring the prevalence and relevance of mineralocorticoid excess in resistant hypertension on the epidemiological, clinical, genetic and molecular level. The research teams of his clinic have particular expertise in assay development and validation for endocrine disease, development of genetically manipulated animals as models for human adrenal disease.
