Jelena Kravarusic, MD, PhD serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, specializing within the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine. She maintains active clinical practice at Northwestern Memorial Hospital with board certification in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism.
Her educational foundation includes:
- MD from University of Novi Sad (1997)
- PhD from University of Illinois, Chicago (2004)
- Internal Medicine Residency and Chief Medical Residency at Mercy Hospital, Chicago (2008)
- Endocrinology Fellowship at Northwestern University, McGaw Medical Center (2010)
Dr. Kravarusic's research pioneers diabetes technology integration into clinical practice, with emphasis on automated insulin delivery systems and continuous glucose monitoring. Her work bridges engineering innovations with patient-centered care models, particularly investigating real-world implementation challenges for type 1 and type 2 diabetes management. Current projects focus on optimizing human-technology interaction through user-centered design principles.
Publication analysis reveals a clear trajectory toward technology-driven diabetes therapeutics, with recent high-impact clinical trials (including NEJM 2025 publication) demonstrating significant contributions to evidence-based guidelines. Her collaborative approach spans multi-center studies addressing critical gaps in automated insulin delivery efficacy and discontinuation protocols.
Teaching excellence defines her academic contributions:
- 2024 Teaching Pin from Augusta Webster Office of Medical Education
- 2021 Division Faculty Teaching Award from Department of Medicine
- 2021 Teaching Pin from Augusta Webster Office of Medical Education
As clinician-educator, she actively mentors medical trainees while maintaining robust industry partnerships with AbbVie, Bayer, MannKind, and Tandem Technologies related to diabetes technology innovation. Her clinical practice at 645 N Michigan Avenue integrates research findings into patient care.
Professional engagement includes active membership in the Endocrine Society (2023-present) and leadership within Northwestern's diabetes research consortium focused on next-generation therapeutic delivery systems.
