    With NIDA Grant, Researchers at Lewis Katz School of Medicine to Explore Link Between SARS-CoV-2 Infection, Cocaine Use, and COVID-19 Neurological Damage

    The impact of SARS-CoV-2 on blood-brain barrier function is similar to that of cocaine and other psychostimulant drugs, a commonality that has raised questions about whether the virus, in the presence of psychostimulants, inflicts even greater CNS damage and whether the two share a similar molecular mechanism. Now, equipped with a new grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) of the National Institutes of Health, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine have an unprecedented opportunity to explore these questions.

    New $4M NIH Grant Awarded to Researchers at Lewis Katz School of Medicine to Fund Groundbreaking Research on Disparities in Hepatitis B and Liver Disease in Asian-Americans

    Structural racism and discrimination (SRD) shapes persistent health disparities by limiting access to care and by directly affecting health and health behaviors. Most research on SRD in the health sector, however, has focused on Black Americans and Latinx. Now, thanks to a new five-year, $4 million grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers at the Center for Asian Health, Lewis Katz School of Medicine and Fox Chase Cancer Center have an unprecedented opportunity to expand SRD research to include Asian-Americans.

    Dancing in the Lab

    In scientific research, it’s thrilling to uncover something new, something never documented before. Just as thrilling is to win grant funding to keep that exploration going. Super-competitive, grants and fellowships are difficult to apply for and hard to get. It is always a coup to land one. But there’s something extra special about those first few wins. Just ask Amanda St. Paul and Keman Xu, doctoral candidates in the Biomedical Sciences program at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. They’re both on cloud nine, celebrating brand-new, highly prestigious fellowship awards for their research.
