Biography

Daisy Sahoo is a prominent academic known for her work in the fields of dyslipidemia and diabetes research. Her research underscores the significant impact of lipid profiles on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly focusing on the roles of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in beta-cell function. Dr. Sahoo's findings suggest that dyslipidemia may contribute to beta-cell failure and the progression of T2DM. Her studies investigate how oxidative stress affects HDL and promote the hypothesis that modified forms of HDL may impair pancreatic beta-cell function, particularly in diabetic patients. She leads funded research that employs adipocytes differentiated from ear mesenchymal stem cells to explore the influence of the SR-BI receptor on glucose and lipid metabolism. As an influential figure in the School of Graduate Studies and as an endowed professor, she plays a crucial role in advancing the understanding of the metabolic processes related to diabetes.
