Name:
Kimberly Nkem Uweh, Pharm.D.
Title: Post-Doctoral Fellow
Email: Kimberly.Uweh@ucdenver.edu
Research Topic: Examining Characteristics of Placebo Effects on Trauma-Related Insomnia in a Suvorexant Trial
Mentors: Primary Co-Mentors: Ihori Kobayashi, PhD (Department of Psychiatry and Medicine, Howard University) & Khang Ho, Pharm.D.(Department of Research Pharmacy, Georgetown University), Co-Mentor: Thomas Mellman, MD, & Erin Wilhelm, MPH (Department of Regulatory Affairs, Georgetown University)
Bio: Kimberly is a pharmacist and clinical researcher in her first year of post-doctoral training at the Sleep and Stress Research Center at Howard University. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and a minor in Chemistry from San Jose State University (2012) and her Doctorate of Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy& Pharmaceutical Sciences (2017). Her research interest consists of understanding the placebo effect and its clinical implications in future treatments in psychiatric disorders. Her project aims to analyze data from the placebo group in an ongoing double-blind placebo study on Suvorexant for the treatment of trauma related insomnia (TRI). The placebo effects on TRI are unknown, and the proposed project will provide valuable information for the development of TRI treatments.
