The postdoctoral fellowship will fund her pain research for the next three years. “Winding up at Morgan State is what got me on the track of being a researcher,” Lewter said. While obtaining her doctorate from the University of Buffalo, she moved into pain research, specifically studying the potential utility of novel compounds for pain control. “Folks come to her for her expertise and ability to thoughtfully process their situation.”When Kolber left Duquesne for UT Dallas, Lewter — an avowed “East Coast girl” — made the cross-country jump as well. At the Speed of Bright UT Dallas has earned a reputation for incredibly bright students, innovative programs, renowned faculty, dedicated staff, engaged alumni and research that matters.
