September 2023 LEE RECEIVES 1 OF 2 NIAMS STAR AWARDSYvonne Lee, MD, of Northwestern Medicine Rheumatology, was one of two investigators to receive the 2022 NIAMS Supplements to Advance Research (STAR) Award. The NIAMS STAR program provides additional funding for early career investigators who have renewed their first NIAMS-funded R01 grant, allowing them to pursue innovative research within the scope of their existing project and expand it into a broader multi-faceted program.
Dr. Lee is the principal investigator of an NIAMS-supported research project studying how rheumatoid arthritis leads to changes in central nervous system pathways responsible for sensing, transmitting and regulating pain. The STAR award will help enable her team to incorporate novel brain imaging methods into a multimodal approach that also includes patient-reported measures of pain and objective assessments of pain sensitivity to study pain pathways. The findings could potentially lead to the development of personalized therapeutics for chronic pain in arthritis patients. |
