Excited to announce I received an F30 award from National Cancer Institute! This supports my training as a #PhysicianScientist in the Sheetal Hardikar lab studying metabolic dysfunction and cancer survivorship. Special thanks to my mentors & many others for your support! #CancerResearch #MDPhD

Our findings using WHI data: new-onset diabetes after cancer dx worsens both cancer-specific and all-cause survival. Congrats Prasoona Karra ! 🎉📈

So proud of Maci Winn, PhD and excited to mentor her through this award! Huntsman Cancer Institute U of U PHS

Enjoyed spending this week in Seattle at #AAMC23 repping Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine (now the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at the University of Utah)! It was great to meet so many amazing clinicians and students in academic medicine! #UniversityofUtah #SpencerFoxEcclesSOM AAMC

Lifted in my first weightlifting competition since breaking my leg and ankle last year. Still a long way to go before I’m back to 100%, but I’m excited about this progress!

How high blood sugar, hypertension and obesity can add up to cancer risk—"We do know that there are at least 13 cancers that are causally-related to obesity. But there are other things like hypertension that may also be contributing," NPR report: npr.org/sections/healt…

Spoke to NPR about some of our recent research! Check it out at the link below!

Happy to be AACR 2024 presenting our latest research on metabolic syndrome and obesity-related cancer risk and survival! #AACR2024 #Obesity #Cancer #MetabolicSyndrome #UmbrellaReview Prasoona Karra

I had such a great time attending and presenting at the MeDOC Program meeting! Excited about all of the amazing #obesity and #cancer research being conducted!

PhDONE! So grateful to my department and all of my mentors for an amazing four years! Back to medical school in a few weeks to wrap up the last couple years of my MD! #PhDONE #PhinisheD #MDPhD

Thank you for an amazing four years! Best mentor in the world! 😊

Enjoyed presenting our work “New-onset prediabetes/diabetes after GI cancer diagnosis worsens survival” at #DDW2024! ❗️25% developed preDM/DM after cancer dx ❗️2-fold worse survival w/ new-onset preDM/DM ❗️Near 3-fold worse survival w/ new-onset preDM/DM w/o antidiabetic tx

I got to use my PhD research to impact patient care today, and that was pretty dang cool.
