Dr. Levine leads the Center for Bone Health at CHOP, which provides clinical services and access to clinical research studies to children and adolescents with nutritional, metabolic, and genetic disorders of bone and mineral metabolism.

Among his current research projects, Dr. Levine is conducting clinical trials to assess the efficacy and safety of recombinant human parathyroid hormone in adults with hypothyroidism; the efficacy and safety of palovarotene in children with multiple osteochondromatosis; and the safety and efficacy of repurposing rifampin as an inducer of CYP3A4 in patients with hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria due to genetic mutations in CYP24A1.

In addition, he is working to identify novel genetic forms of vitamin D-dependent rickets as well as novel genetic disorders of parathyroid function.
