Dr. Tamaroff’s research program focuses on the use of wearable technology and the intersection between glycemia, insulin sensitivity, and cardiac disease. She has evaluated the use of continuous glucose monitors and the relationship between dysglycemia and cardiomyopathy in individuals with Friedreich’s Ataxia. She is currently investigating similar questions in individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Additionally, in individuals with DMD or pseudohypoparathyroidism, she is assessing the utility of remote monitoring during research studies to assess glycemia, activity, heart rate, and sleep.

Dr. Tamaroff complete a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

Performance-based and questionnaire measures of executive function in adolescents with type 1 diabetes

The purpose of the current study was to examine executive function (EF) in adolescents with type 1 diabetes using both performance-based and questionnaire measures in relation to diabetes indicators. Adolescents age 13-17 completed performance-based measures of EF and measures of adherence. Adolescents' parents reported on adolescents' EF and adherence. HbA1c and frequency of blood glucose monitoring (glucometer data) were obtained from adolescents' medical records. None of the performance-based measures of EF were significantly associated with adherence or with HbA1c.

Child Neuro, Year 2
Child Neurology Residency Program

Abhi grew up in Dallas, Texas. Under the Health Science Scholars Honors Program at The University of Texas at Austin, she received her B.S.A. degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Ethics in Healthcare. She first discovered her passion for working with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities early in high school, and further developed this interest at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she earned her D.O. degree. It didn’t take long for her to realize that Child Neurology was the right path for her to continue growing this passion. She is excited about developing this passion into a career in Epilepsy.

In her free time, she loves to travel to different countries and experience the wide array of cultures and food that there is to explore. To continue her passion for dance, she has been taking salsa classes recently. She can't wait to continue exploring Nashville and all that it has to offer!

Child Neuro, Year 2
Child Neurology Residency Program

Miles was born in the suburbs of Chicago and moved to Dallas at the age of seven. From an early age, he was interested in playing Xbox and watching SpongeBob. He attended college at Southern Methodist University, where he majored in Biology. He then attended medical school at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. While in medical school, he developed an interest in pediatric neurology and child development after spending time with some of the wonderful physicians at Cook Children's Medical Center. He is proud to be a resident in the Vanderbilt child neurology program.

Outside of medicine, Miles is a classical music fanatic. He especially likes the music of Mahler, Berlioz, and (if he has 2 hours to kill) Bruckner. He is also a barbecue enthusiast and holds the honor of being the world's most mediocre tuba player.
