With the support of the SURF Fellowship from UC Berkeley, Kamu Potharaju is working as a research assistant and on her public health honors thesis with Dr. Courtney Lyles from the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations (CVP). Her research will be a part of a larger effort, called MAVEN, to design a community-driven personal health library platform for individuals with diabetes in SF. Kamu plans to study how clinical providers can better integrate knowledge of social determinants of health into their treatment of patients with diabetes. Kamu’s work incorporates skills she learned in the Fung Fellowship, including user-interviews, interactive prototyping, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
