About Jayanthi

Jaya Papannarao, also known as Jayanthi Bellae Papannarao, serves as an Assistant Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology at the University of Otago, within the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences and the Health Sciences Division. Holding an MSc, she is affiliated with the Katare Lab, where her research emphasizes three core aspects: identifying diseases at early stages, elucidating molecular mechanisms driving disease progression, and developing innovative therapies. Her specific academic interests include understanding the mechanisms behind diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications, discovering novel blood-based biomarkers for the early diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, and investigating age-induced cardiovascular disease. These efforts align with the lab's broader focus on molecular mechanisms in cardiovascular disease and diabetes, including the pathological roles of microRNAs in diabetic cardiomyopathy, circulating microRNAs as biomarkers, suicidal autophagy in diabetic hearts, therapies for diabetic ulcers, and nanoparticle-mediated RNA delivery for cardiovascular conditions.
