Profile
Dr. Donahue's expertise and interests concern the role of
immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis and diabetes
and other chronic illnesses.
Research Interests
My research
interests lie in the intersection of diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. I am particularly interested in the loss of the female
protection that occurs in diabetes, as well as the role of
insulin resistance in atherosclerosis in the non-diabetic
condition. As the population ages, the impact of diabetes
will assume greater public health importance.
