Miranda M. Adelmann, MD
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Miranda is a palliative care physician and a fellow in the interdisciplinary Bridge-the-Gap T32 Research Fellowship through the MGH CHOIR/Center for Aging and Serious Illness. She completed medical school at Harvard followed by a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the MGH, and recently graduated from the Harvard Interprofessional Palliative Care Fellowship. As an internist and pediatrician, she is interested in palliative care for people who carry serious illness diagnoses from childhood into adulthood, and how this impacts their experience of suffering. She plans to focus her research on palliative care interventions for people with sickle cell disease, with a particular focus on pain communication across the lifespan.
Miranda was born in Alaska and grew up in Palm Springs, CA, and now lives with her husband Hank in East Cambridge. She enjoys hosting themed parties, eating outside with friends (a seasonal hobby in Boston), growing tomatoes on the porch, and trying new recipes.
