Appointment as Dean of Harvard's Faculty of Medicine
Flier was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and the Caroline Shields Walker professor of medicine at Harvard in July 2007 by President Drew Faust and assumed the position on September 1, 2007.
During his first year as dean, he led an extensive strategic planning process, releasing a report in October 2008.
Harvard University and Harvard Medical School suffered financial losses when financial markets fell in 2008–2009. This slowed but did not stop investments in several areas.
His term as dean of Harvard Medical School ended in 2016 after nine years.
Some of the corporate accomplishments corresponding to his period as a Dean were: 1. implementation of a new Clinical and Translational Science Award from NIH; 2. successful launch and oversight of the $750 million “The World is Waiting” capital campaign;
3. implementation of a major redesign of the preclinical medical curriculum; 4. design and implementation of a new system for financial contributions to HMS from its affiliated institutions;
5. establishment of a new department of biomedical informatics; 6. establishment of a new division of external education, combining Harvard Health Publishing, postgraduate medical education, and new HMS online learning and executive education programs designed to increase the global impact and educational revenues of the institution. Flier's 2016 final class commencement speech at Harvard Medical School is available online.

With
Bruce Spiegelman he discovered an altered production of
adipsin in obesity in genetically obese mice.
In 2005, he reported the possible role of adult
hypothalamic neurogenesis in the control of energy balance;
Regarding inflammatory phenomena in metabolic disease, Flier helped establish that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation in adipocytes and macrophages mediates inflammation accompanying obesity, and subsequent insulin resistance in diabetes. In 1980 he described a rare case of familial
acanthosis nigricans-muscle cramps-acral enlargement syndrome.
Opinion
Since stepping down as dean, Flier has increasingly contributed policy oriented publications focusing on a number of issues affecting health care and biomedical research in current times, among them: health care reform and its sustainability, enhancing US health provider workforce, the pros and cons of prevailing credit attribution practices in academia and industry, the realities and options linked to the irreproducibility of research results, improving the institutional handling of scientific misconduct, the obsolescence of distinctions between basic and translational biomedical research, and the complexities behind conflict of interest (COI) disclosure.
Personal life
Flier is married to
Eleftheria Maratos-Flier. She is an endocrinologist and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School,
[

Alynylam Pharmaceuticals. The two have collaborated in several areas of research.
They have two daughters. Sarah and Lydia, both of whom are physicians.
