Subramaniam Pennathur is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and holds a Career Development Award from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Dr. Pennathur is actively involved in exploring the role of hyperglycemia in promoting vascular inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to diabetic end organ damage. The overall goals of this research are to elucidate the biochemical pathways through which hyperglycemia accelerates glycoxidative reactions and to identify the major proteins targeted for glycoxidation in the diabetic state in vivo. The ultimate goal is to determine the chemical nature of diabetic tissue damage and the relative contributions of oxidative pathways using mass spectrometry based techniques. Understanding such pathways would facilitate the rational design of drugs for preventing diabetic complications.
