Biography
Ranjani Ramanathan, M.D., received her medical degree from Bangalore Medical College, India. She trained in internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital Program in Baltimore. Upon completion of that program she came to Washington University in St. Louis to pursue a fellowship and is currently a second year fellow.
Research Interests
The concept of Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) in diabetes posits that recent antecedent hypoglycemia causes both a reduced epinephrine response to subsequent hypoglycemia and a reduced awareness of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, causing a vicious cycle of recurrent hypoglycemia. However it is not clear what mediates this phenomenon. We are interested in determining what pathways mediate HAAF and plan to study this in a model of HAAF in healthy individuals.
