Her clinical interests include general pediatric endocrinology, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In addition, she does research focusing on adolescents with type 2 diabetes.

The study received the 2009 Marilyn Fishman Grant for Diabetes Research from the Endocrine Fellows Foundation. Dr. Nandagopal also has a strong interest in medical education, and currently serves as the CNMC rotation director for pediatric endocrinology fellows from the National Institutes of Health.
