The talented awardees all have inspiring and innovative research areas of focus, in key areas that impact our patients\u2019 health and well-being.<\/p>\n
Please join us in congratulating the following people:<\/p>\n
Dr. Karen Jacobson<\/strong>, Department of Medicine, Section of Infectious Disease. Dr. Jacobson\u2019s expertise is in studying tuberculosis transmission and outcomes. Dr. Jacobson\u2019s research, which spans national and global work, has a particular emphasis on understanding how substance use impacts on tuberculosis transmission and response to therapy.<\/p>\n Dr. Naomi Ko<\/strong>, Department of Medicine, Section of Hematology-Oncology. Dr. Ko\u2019s research has a translational focus directed to understanding the disconnect between scientific discoveries in cancer treatment and delivery of evidence-based treatment to marginalized, racial\/ethnic minority women with breast cancer. She is actively investigating how tumor biology, poverty, communication and treatment influence breast cancer outcomes in diverse breast cancer populations.<\/p>\n Dr. Maureen Dubreuil<\/strong>, Department of Medicine, Section of Rheumatology. Dr. Dubreuil\u2019s research focuses on comorbidities and pharmacoepidemiology of spondyloarthritis. (note: Dr. Dubreuil\u2019s bridge funding award is co-funded by BMC and the Department of Medicine)<\/p>\n Dr. Emily Hurstak<\/strong>, Department of Medicine, Section of General Internal Medicine. Dr. Hurstack\u2019s conducts clinical research around improving outpatient systems of care for patients who have been economically and socially marginalized, with a focus on individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) and chronic pain syndromes. Dr. Hurstak participates in both clinical care and research with a focus on health communication, health literacy, and improving care for patients with SUDs in primary care settings.<\/p>\n Dr. Titi Ilori<\/strong>, Department of Medicine, Section of Nephrology. Dr. Ilori\u2019s research includes mechanistic and interventional studies on the etiologic factors and modifiers of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a special emphasis on the effect of diet (dietary nutrients and dietary patterns), biomarkers, and genetics on CKD progression in both low resource and high-income countries. Her current work is in gene by environment interactions in APOL1<\/em>\u00a0nephropathy and her lab recently discovered that dietary potassium interacts with the APOL1<\/em> genotypes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The talented awardees all have inspiring and innovative research areas of focus, in key areas that impact our patients\u2019 health and well-being.
