Follow Up Interview from EFL015
Join host Dr. Chase Hendrickson as he interviews Dr. Mary Elizabeth Patti, Harvard Medical School Joslin Diabetes Center, in a follow up to EFL015 - Hypoglycemia After Gastric Bypass. Hear directly from one of the researchers who worked on “Glycemia Patterns are Distinct in Individuals with Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia after Gastric Bypass (PBH-RYGB),” about how they selected their research topic, factors involved in developing their approach, and decisions they had to make as researchers.
Meet the Speaker
Mary Elizabeth Patti, MD is a physician-scientist endocrinologist, serving as Principal Investigator at Joslin Diabetes Center, Director of the Hypoglycemia Clinic, Co-Director of the Molecular Phenotyping Core, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Patti’s NIH-funded lab focuses on identification of molecular/epigenetic mechanisms by which nutritional exposures during early life increase adiposity, obesity and diabetes risk during adult life and in subsequent generations. Translational studies are focused on diabetes resolution and hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery.
