This NIH-funded project studies metabolic syndrome outcomes in tuberculosis patients in Tanzania, aiming to understand metabolic changes during TB treatment and identify risk factors for persistent metabolic disorders. The research supports the PI's transition to independent research with a strong mentoring team.
Description
The project aims to characterize metabolic profiles of people with newly diagnosed tuberculosis, determine the dynamics of those profiles during treatment, and identify risk factors for persistent metabolic disorders. It leverages an ongoing prospective cohort in Tanzania focusing on pre-diabetes at TB diagnosis. The study will measure blood-based and anthropometric metabolic markers, characterize TB severity, and assess metabolic outcomes post-treatment.
