L111026: HYBRID Legacy Lecture Series: Krishna Saxena, MD Endocrine Lecture: A Practical Guide to Hypoglycemia
Children's Minnesota hosts this one-hour Legacy Lecture Series presentation featuring Mansa Krishnamurthy, MD MSc, Assistant Professor | Division of Endocrinology, Director, Hypoglycemia Program
.
Dr. Mansa Krishnamurthy is a pediatric endocrinologist, physician-scientist, and Director of the Hypoglycemia Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Her research program focuses on congenital hyperinsulinism and monogenic diabetes, with particular emphasis on identifying novel disease-causing genes and developing patient-derived stem cell organoid models to investigate disease mechanisms and therapeutic response.
Her translational research integrates clinical investigation with advanced human disease modeling to better understand disorders of glucose regulation and endocrine development. Using patient-derived organoids, her work aims to define how specific genetic variants disrupt pancreatic development and function, while also establishing platforms for precision drug testing and therapeutic discovery.
Dr. Krishnamurthy’s long-term goal is to advance personalized therapies for rare pediatric endocrine disorders by bridging human genetics, stem cell biology, and translational medicine to improve patient care.
Krishna Saxena, MD Endocrine Lecture
This lectureship is one that does more than honor a talented physician. It tangibly perpetuates Dr. Saxena’s life-long commitment to high-quality medical education for aspiring pediatricians and pediatric specialists.
This is a forum for the advancement of knowledge, with the hope that it will bring improved health for our community’s children.
