When the Loggia Lab isn’t coming up with creative When the Loggia Lab isn’t coming up with creative Halloween costumes, like recreating the Louvre heist with Dr. Loggia taking center stage as the Mona Lisa thief, researchers like Ekim Luo, PhD, are trying to solve a mystery of their own: Why does pain sometimes continue long after it’s needed? 🎃 A postdoctoral research fellow in the Loggia Lab at MGB Radiology Research, Ekim studies inflammatory markers in the brain and body to better understand chronic pain. Her fascination with pain began during her PhD, when she became interested in how we perceive and empathize with other people’s pain. That curiosity led her to explore some of the bigger mysteries surrounding pain, including why it can sometimes persist without a clear-cut explanation. Outside the lab, Ekim loves reading novels, spending time with friends and fawning over her cat. She also has a creative side: while completing her PhD, she spent a few months working as a freelance writer for a theater company. 🔬 In our latest Researchers Unplugged, meet Ekim and learn more about the science behind chronic pain and what keeps her fascinated by its many mysteries
