Jonathan C. Howell, MD, PhD, is board certified in Pediatrics and board eligible in Pediatric Endocrinology. He has been on the faculty of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in the Department of Pediatrics for the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine since 2012.

Dr. Howell is an assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology. His main clinical focus is diabetes as well as providing care for patients with endocrine disorders, including growth, thyroid, pituitary, pubertal, and adrenal dysfunction. In 2012, he was awarded a William Cooper Procter Scholarship to support his academic career development. Dr. Howell’s research focuses on the mechanisms that control hormone cell development and function in human intestine and how it relates to diabetes and cystic fibrosis.

Dr. Howell received his bachelor of arts degree from Hanover College. He received his PhD from Indiana University and his MD from Indiana University School of Medicine.

Dr. Howell completed his pediatric internship and residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where he also served as chief resident. He also obtained his fellowship training from Cincinnati Children’s.
