    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode of Rupa’s Fellows Friday, Chaitra discusses her research on hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), where her primary focus has been on the potential role of microRNA profiling in predicting outcomes for affected infants, describing both the promise of this approach and the practical challenges she faced, such as patient consent and laboratory limitations. Dr. Manjunath emphasizes the critical role of mentorship and collaboration in advancing neonatal research. Beyond her scientific work, she shares a growing interest in healthcare price transparency, motivated by her own personal experiences navigating the medical system. She highlights disparities in access and cost of care and advocates for better patient awareness of healthcare options.
