Christina Astley, MD, ScD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, and Assistant in Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital
Astley’s research, Dysglycemia progression in diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring and artificial intelligence, will use computational modeling and AI to more precisely identify pacing of glycemic deterioration to better time and target interventions for those at risk of developing diabetes.
"I am deeply grateful to the American Diabetes Association for this tremendous honor and support. The path from healthy glucose levels to prediabetes and diabetes remains incompletely understood—sometimes leaving researchers, clinicians, and especially at-risk patients without clear guideposts. This award will enable me to use computational models to identify continuous glucose monitor (CGM) patterns that serve as early warning signals along this path. I am thrilled to be a part of the ADA’s Pathway to Stop Diabetes community of researchers and mentors, and I look forward to working collaboratively to translate my research insights into digital health tools that can help change the course of disease."
