2009 - NAS Award in Chemical Sciences, National Academy of Sciences (US) For exceptional accomplishments in the synthesis of positron-emitting chemical probes, and for their implementation in biomedical imaging and studies of in vivo biochemistry, which have had a major impact on human health worldwide.
2008 - US President's National Medal of Science "For her pioneering work in chemistry involving the synthesis of medical imaging compounds and her innovative applications of these compounds to human neuroscience, which have significantly advanced our understanding of the human brain and brain diseases including drug addiction.", Presented by President Barack H. Obama in the East Room of the White House on October 7, 2009.
2003 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
1998 - Garvan–Olin Medal, American Chemical Society (ACS)
Her primary areas of study are Dopamine, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Raclopride. Her Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Methylphenidate, Addiction and Pharmacology. Her Methylphenidate research incorporates elements of Anesthesia and Thalamus.
She interconnects Dopaminergic, Nucleus accumbens, Substance abuse and Drug in the investigation of issues within Addiction. Her studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Pathology, Detoxification, In vivo and Cardiology. Her Raclopride research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Distribution Volume, Neurotransmitter and Radioligand.
Joanna S. Fowler mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Pharmacology and Human brain. Her research investigates the link between Internal medicine and topics such as Positron emission tomography that cross with problems in Brain positron emission tomography. Her study ties her expertise on Receptor together with the subject of Endocrinology.
She works mostly in the field of Dopamine, limiting it down to topics relating to Methylphenidate and, in certain cases, Stimulant. Her Pharmacology research integrates issues from Dopamine transporter, In vivo and Monoamine oxidase. Her research in Striatum intersects with topics in Methamphetamine and Nucleus accumbens.
Joanna S. Fowler mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Pharmacology and Human brain. Her work in the fields of Carbohydrate metabolism, Baboon and Stimulation overlaps with other areas such as Vorozole. She does research in Endocrinology, focusing on Dopaminergic specifically.
Her Dopamine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Methylphenidate, Addiction and Putamen. The Pharmacology study combines topics in areas such as Positron emission tomography, In vivo and Monoamine oxidase. Her Human brain study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biochemistry and Monoamine oxidase A.
Her primary scientific interests are in Dopamine, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Methylphenidate and Raclopride. Her Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Addiction and Pharmacology. Her study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Temporal cortex and Human brain.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Placebo, Abstinence and Stimulant in addition to Methylphenidate. The various areas that Joanna S. Fowler examines in her Raclopride study include Ventral striatum and Dopamine receptor D3. She usually deals with Striatum and limits it to topics linked to Anesthesia and Methamphetamine.
