Hanna Knauss, MD

Internal Medicine Resident

Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio

Education/background:  I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences from Ohio University, then my M.D. from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences. After medical school, I made my way over to the east coast for internal medicine residency at BIDMC! I plan to apply for cardiology fellowship this upcoming year.

Years in the lab: 1

I am working on a project analyzing trans-right ventricle metabolite gradients present in individuals with obesity, with and without pulmonary hypertension. The gradients may lend insight to molecular pathways dysregulated in obesity and mechanisms of obesity-related pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Favorite hobbies/interests outside of work:  I love being outdoors, especially running, hiking, road biking, and exploring national parks – we recently went to Acadia and it is one of our favorites so far. I also enjoy reading historical fiction and exploring new eateries in Boston.
