A single SNP in ~10% of US African Ancestry individuals causes a systematic decrease in HbA1c and a dramatic under treatment of diabetes. In @NatureMedicine led by @JosephBreeyear @JackieHellwege @genepiman_giri @toddledwards @VUMCDiscoveries nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Check out our new paper out today in Nature Medicine. G6PD deficiency alleles are associated with increased risk of diabetes complications and the increased risk is likely due to reliance on HbA1c to make treatment decisions for diabetes patients: lnkd.in/gZi7GYuH

I am honored and humbled to be recognized as Nashvillian of the Year. I am filled with pride to see how the organization I lead #MeharryMedicalCollege rose to the challenge presented by COVID-19 pandemic. Much work yet to do and we will continue to do our part.

The best advice I got when I started over 15 years ago as an Asst. Prof. You must complain at every difficulty you face, but you must perform inspite of those difficulties. Because unless you complain system will not improve, and unless you perform, no one will listen to you.

I need to extend tremendous gratitude to all current & former members of the Ritchie Lab and my mentors and collaborators for the past 2 decades. Being recognized in this way is possible because of the support and collaboration by such amazing scientists. nam.edu/national-academy-of-….
