Pamela Nono Nankam receives Science Award of the Lipedema Society

The Lipedema Society is an interdisciplinary organization established on January 1, 2021. Its primary objective is to represent the needs of the patients and physicians in an interdisciplinary network to have a positive impact on care. Regular training and specialized conferences are conducted to identify and represent the needs of all stakeholders, including providers and practitioners, in discussions.

Pamela Nono Nankam is currently working on projects related to a better understanding of lipedema disease mechanisms with a focus of adipose tissue function characterization and identification of circulating disease biomarkers. In parallel, Pamela played an important role in developing a comprehensive meta-analysis of publicly available and newly generated single-cell, single-nucleus, and spatial transcriptomic results from human subcutaneous, omental, and perivascular WAT.

The Science Award of the Lipedema Society, sponsored by the HumanMed AG, aims to support excellent scientific work in the field of lipedema research or provide funding for excellent planned research projects. It has been awarded for the first time this year.
