BIO
Jessica Robinson-Papp is Professor with Tenure of Neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York City, where she directs the PAIRED (Pain, Autonomics and Immune Research in Diverse Populations) project and the Mount Sinai autonomic laboratory which she established in 2009. Her clinical work includes general neurologic consultation (including pain management) for a large network of HIV-focused primary care clinics. Her research career began with an NIH career development award to study HIV-associated neuropathies (K23NS066789). Her current research focuses on chronic pain and judicious opioid prescribing, autonomic neuropathy, and the neurologic complications of HIV, and she is part of several federally-funded research projects. She is the PI of a Specialized Clinical Center in the pain clinical trials consortium EPPIC-Net (U24NS113849), and the PI of EPPIC-Net’s national multicenter Platform Protocol to study new treatments for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. She is also the PI of the EVA study, which examines gastrointestinal function in HIV-associated autonomic neuropathy (R01DK122853). She is also the site PI for the SALUD study (R01AG065110) which investigates ethnic disparities in cognitive decline and brain integrity in aging populations with and without HIV.
