Current Fellows

Aneesha Kamath is a dual internal medicine-pediatrics fellow studying infectious disease. She is a "lifer," having completed her undergraduate, medical school, and residency training through Indiana University. She chose to continue her training at IU based on her wonderful experiences as a resident with infectious disease faculty and fellows on both the adult and pediatric sides. Aneesha is passionate about global health and mitigating health disparities. She enjoys caring for the diverse population served by our fellowship program. Aneesha loves the mystery-solving aspect of infectious disease as well as the joy in medicine of helping patients feel better. Outside of the hospital, she likes spending time with her husband (a radiology resident), two cats and dog as well as reading, eating ice cream and traveling.

Kirsten Prabhudas-Strycker is a dual internal medicine-pediatrics fellow studying infectious diseases and global health. She attended undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame and completed her medical degree and residency at Indiana University. Her primary interests lie in global health, education, infection prevention and stewardship. She loves infectious diseases as a specialty because she loves making such a big difference in patients' lives, focusing on prevention and quality and thinks the questions answered within infectious diseases are interesting. In her free time, Kirsten enjoys swimming, biking, reading sci-fi/fantasy novels and cooking/baking.

Hayley Sharma is a current med-peds trained pediatric infectious diseases fellow. She grew up in Minnesota, with her family moving to Switzerland and then London in her later teenage years. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Baylor University and got her MD at the University of Minnesota Medical School. She then completed a med-peds residency at IU. It was working with the peds ID team at IU that convinced her to pursue a fellowship in peds ID, and thus she was happy to stay for the remainder of her training. Her current interests within peds ID include antimicrobial stewardship, global health, and disaster/outbreak response, and she loves the breadth of cases that peds ID fellows at IU get to see. She especially loves working with patients whose preferred language is not English, as she herself speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese and basic Haitian Creole/French. Outside of the hospital, she enjoys exploring different cultures (whether traveling abroad or visiting local ethnic restaurants), going on 10-mile walks and playing tennis/pickle ball. 

Reenar Yoo is a pediatric infectious diseases fellow with a particular interest in fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. She graduated from Chung-Ang University College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, and completed her pediatric residency and fellowship training at Asan Medical Center, one of the leading tertiary care centers in Korea.

This is her second fellowship training, and she chose to continue at Indiana University School of Medicine to further pursue her passion for studying invasive fungal diseases and improving care for vulnerable, immunosuppressed patients. Reenar is excited about combining her clinical experience with research to advance prevention and treatment strategies in pediatric infectious diseases.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and child, relaxing at home with her two cats and listening to music — especially K-pop and new age. She also loves cooking Korean food and sharing it with her family.
