Members of The Linnstaedt Lab are proud collaborators of The Duke Anesthesiology Department’s Nackley Lab. Take this as proof that researchers at UNC and Duke can be friends despite UNC having a better basketball team.😉    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39430682/

Linnstaedt Lab graduate students Brittanie Winfield (BCB), Alice Woolard (BCB) and Erica Branham (GMB) attended the 2024 Department of Genetics Scientific Retreat in Myrtle Beach where they each presented posters of their research. 

Dr. Linnstaedt enjoyed meeting with other pain scientists and SLE researchers to discuss the biology of pain and discuss future avenues of discovery that better elucidate mechanisms of chronic pain in SLE sufferers. This conference was well attended by pain scientists, experts in autoimmunity, neuroscientists, and patients with SLE.

Dr. Linnstaedt is honored to have been named a Rita Allen scholar in 2020 and at this year’s annual meeting, enjoyed presenting and hearing about the incredible research from other Rita Allen scholars. The meeting this year was held in Princeton NJ.
