Paula Barreras, MD, neuroimmunology fellow at Johns Hopkins Hospital, was one of the first recipients of the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy’s (FPN) Clinical Research Training Scholarships (CRTS). Through these awards, FPN is supporting early-career researchers in peripheral neuropathy. Did you know that about 40% of people with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease, also experience a nerve condition called small fiber neuropathy (SFN)? […]
Attracting and retaining top research talent is vital to improving therapies for peripheral neuropathy. Some of the brightest researchers are often drawn to well-known disciplines with the largest funding pools – such as cancer research. To combat this challenge, FPN works in partnership with the American Brain Foundation and the American Academy of Neurology to facilitate a Clinical Research Training Scholarship (CRTS). […]
