Batoul Hammoud is an Instructor in the Pediatrics Division at the University of Chicago. Her research primarily focuses on gastrointestinal diseases and their implications in diabetes, particularly the effects of polyamine depletion in ß-cell function and cytokine stress in diabetes outcomes. She has contributed significantly to the understanding of gastroptosis and its diagnosis, with notable publications in journals such as ACG Case Reports Journal and Cell Reports Medicine. Hammoud's work investigates the interactions between developmental factors and monogenic forms of neonatal diabetes, exploring fundamental mechanisms that influence glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. Her clinical insights extend to neurointerventions and their outcomes in pediatric populations, exemplified by her work in neurosurgery and neuroradiology. At the University of Chicago, Hammoud continues to engage in research that bridges clinical practices with fundamental science, aiming to enhance patient care in the field of endocrinology and diabetes.
