Epigenomic and Gene Expression Signatures of Racial Differences in Chronic Low Back Pain
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE This project is relevant to public health, as it will foster a better understanding of the relative influences psychological, social, and epigenomic factors have on cLBP and will also give insight into the mechanism the drives racial disparities in cLBP. The proposed project is in response to NIAMS RFA-AR-20-001, Mechanistic Ancillary Studies to Ongoing Clinical Projects. This work lays the foundation for a long-term program of research in developing targeted interventions to reduce cLBP disability and improve outcomes for racial minorities.
