As a physician-scientist, Maria (Daniela) D. Hurtado Andrade, M.D., Ph.D., has a research goal to cure obesity. To this end, her training and research career have evolved around understanding and applying new knowledge to develop practical solutions to reduce obesity and its metabolic complications.
The highly variable response to weight-loss interventions demonstrates that the one-treatment-fits-all model of care has failed people living with obesity. As a result, the future of obesity treatment is in personalizing treatment options. To facilitate the generation of this new knowledge, Dr. Hurtado has focused her clinical and research efforts on specific populations: perimenopausal women and survivors of breast cancer.
Obesity is the No.1 chronic disease in the U.S. The highly variable response to weight-loss interventions demonstrates that the one-treatment-fits-all model of care has failed people living with obesity. As a result, the future of obesity treatment is in personalized options for people. To develop personalized interventions for obesity, Dr. Hurtado focuses on identifying and characterizing the mechanisms driving its heterogenous pathophysiology. To facilitate the generation of this knowledge, Dr. Hurtado has taken advantage of her clinical and research experiences to focus her efforts on a specific population: women with high cardiometabolic risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease and increased cardiovascular mortality.
