Jon-Kar Zubieta Wins EUREKA Grant
Jon-Kar Zubieta, M.D., Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and radiology at the U-M Medical School and a member of the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute, was awarded $1.2 million for a project that examines neurobiological mechanisms involved in the development of placebo effects in patients with depression and nicotine dependence. These studies are expected to clarify the predictability of placebo effects and define the neural systems mediating them.
Dr. Zubieta is one of four U-M faculty to win an EUREAKA grant.
"The EUREKA grants awarded to [four] U-M faculty are an indicator of the ingenuity and originality of the research conducted on the U-M campus," said Stephen R. Forrest, U-M vice president for research. "And the fact that three different schools and colleges are represented shows the breadth of the expertise at Michigan. I"m proud that these faculty members have been recognized through the EUREKA program."
