Dr. Stephanie Eid is a Research Assistant Professor in the Neurology Department since July 2022 and has served as the diabetes team leader for the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies at the University of Michigan since January 2019. She received her M.Sc. in physiology in 2012 from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon and then completed a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Paris Descartes University, France, in 2017. She then joined Eva Feldman’s laboratory to pursue postdoctoral work on the contribution of dyslipidemia to diabetic neuropathy. Dr. Eid has a track-record of high-quality publications, has competed successfully for NIH and internal grants, and recently received the NEURODIAB Angelika Bierhaus Prize in Basic Research, the Wolfe Research Prize for Identifying New Causes or Novel Treatment of Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy from the American Neurological Association, and the Peter J. Dyck Prize for excellence of her presented research and innovation in diabetic neuropathy from the Peripheral Nerve Society. She is currently exploring the metabolic interaction of neurons with Schwann cells in neuropathy, beyond the conventional role of Schwann cells in myelination. She is also determining whether lifestyle interventions can improve nerve function in murine models of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neuropathy. These innovative studies will advance our understanding of prediabetic and diabetic neuropathy and help develop novel targeted therapies for neuropathy treatment.
