Anubha Mahajan is a human genetics researcher whose career has focused on genetic analysis of complex traits, with an emphasis on type 2 diabetes. Mahajan has co-led and led analysis of high-throughput genetic studies as part of large international consortia, such as DIAGRAM,[1] GoT2D,[2] T2D-GENES,[3] and DIAMANTE,[4] that explore the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes. More recently, she has moved from genetic discovery to utilizing human genetics research to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to type 2 diabetes.
