Fatimata Sanogo, PhD, graduated in May 2023 from the PhD in Epidemiology program in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding the benefits of mind and body practices for patients living with Type 2 Diabetes and those at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. She investigates the physiological pathways through which such practices affect insulin resistance. Fatimata has a particular interest in interventions that promote equitable access to integrative medicine, including mind and body practices, for minority groups living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and chronic pain, with the goal of reducing health disparities. Fatimata is a certified yoga and meditation teacher, as well as the founder and CEO of Sahel Sage, a non-profit organization. Sahel Sage's mission is to increase the retention of adolescent girls in school in Burkina Faso and address malnutrition in those communities.
