  • Radhika Sundararajan
    Radhika Sundararajan, MD, PhD

    Weill Cornell Medicine

    Radhika Sundararajan is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine. She is an Emergency Physician, Anthropologist, and Implementation Scientist who has been conducting qualitative and mixed-methods research in international settings for over two decades. Her current research focuses on using Implementation Science approaches to design and evaluate healthcare interventions in low resource settings to improve public health outcomes. From 2017-2022, she was recipient of a K23 Career Development award from the National Institute of Mental Health to improve HIV testing uptake among communities who use informal healthcare resources in southwestern Uganda. Their work has shown that informal providers, such as traditional healers, have strong influence over the health behaviors of their patients. They designed a novel point-of-care HIV testing program which was delivered by traditional healers directly to clients of unknown HIV serostatus. They conducted two cluster randomized trials, which have shown that this program significantly improves uptake of HIV testing among adults of unknown HIV serostatus in eastern Africa. She is currently Principal Investigator for an R01 award to conduct an effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized trial to evaluate if traditional healers can provide HIV self-testing and psychosocial support to improve the entire HIV continuum of care. In addition, Dr. Sundararajan is a co-PI on an R01 to evaluate the effectiveness of community health workers to improve screening for gestational and post-partum diabetes among pregnant people in Indian slum communities. She serves as an Associate Editor for Implementation Science Communications and PLOS Global Public Health.
