Maureen Dubreuil, MD, MSc, Assistant Professor of Clinical Epidemiology Research & Training, received the 2018 Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) Bruckel Early Career Investigator in Axial Spondyloarthritis Award. The $20,000.00 award was created to recognize outstanding “contributions to the care and understanding of patients with spondyloarthritis,” and named in honor of the Associations co-founder Jane Bruckel. It is awarded on an annual basis to an early career investigator that shows the most promise to contribute to the understanding or therapy of axial spondyloarthritis. Spondyloarthritis is a type of arthritis which attacks the spine and the joints of the arms and legs in some individuals.
Dr. Dubreuil’s research is focused on comorbidities and pharmacoepidemiology of spondyloarthritis, and she is currently studying patient preferences and cost-effectiveness of treatment modalities for this disease. This award will help with her ongoing research. Congratulations Dr. Dubreuil!
