Groundbreaking Lymphatic Interventions and Drug Explorations (GLIDE)
Dr. Kimberley Steele is a Program Manager in the Health Science Futures Office at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).
Dr. Steele joined ARPA-H in November 2023 from the Lymphatic Education and Research Network (LE&RN), where she supported lymphatic research efforts as Special Projects Director. Prior to that, Steele was Associate Professor of Surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She completed a minimally invasive and bariatric surgical fellowship at Johns Hopkins and joined the faculty, rising to Associate Professor while earning a doctorate in Clinical Investigation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as well as certification with the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She is recognized internationally for her contributions to research on bariatric surgery, the gut-brain axis, and neuroimaging in obesity.
After serving as a surgeon at Johns Hopkins for over 14 years, Dr. Steele shifted her focus to the investigation of lymphatic disease, motivated by her son’s diagnosis of a rare lymphatic anomaly. Dr. Steele has spent the last 7 years working tirelessly with clinicians, scientists, medical students, and advocacy organizations to advance the field of lymphatic medicine, in the process establishing a non-profit, the Collaborative Research Advocacy for Vascular Anomalies Network (CaRAVAN), to coordinate and support research.

About Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN):
LE&RN's mission is to fight lymphatic diseases through education, research, and advocacy. We seek to accelerate the prevention, treatments and cures for lymphedema, lipedema, lymphatic anomalies, and the continuum of lymphatic diseases.
About LE&RN
The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded in 1998 to fight lymphatic disease (LD) through education, research, and advocacy. Lymphatic diseases include lymphedema (LE), lipedema, and lymphatic anomalies. LE&RN is equally committed to investigating preventive and therapeutic benefits for a broad array of diseases that are impacted by lymphatic function, such as heart disease, obesity, AIDS, Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and cancer metastasis.
To accomplish these goals, LE&RN sponsors research fellowship grants, an international patient registry and biorepository, live-stream symposiums, the peer-reviewed journal Lymphatic Research & Biology, weekly e-newsletters, scholarship grants to lymphedema therapists, conference travel awards to young researchers, and a vibrant website with features such as Ask the Experts, connecting patients with the field’s more renowned practitioners. LE&RN has Chapters and Centers of Excellence globally. In 2016, LE&RN created World Lymphedema Day on March 6th, which was established by unanimous vote of the United States Senate.

Thank you so much!
Brilliant!! Would have liked to see cellulitis in the "Emerging Importance of Lymphatics in Health and Disease" graphic either under Infection or Skin category. This is most likely an oversight.
From the other side of the world,I salute your efforts and your dedication. As a newly diagnosed Lymphedema sufferer, I am very excited and hopeful that you will succeed in getting a treatment for this terrible disease. I pray that success will come soonest so that people like me will have the opportunity to spend the rest of their life Lymphedema free. Thank you,God bless and best of luck.

This is absolutely wonderful news!!! I’ve had lymphedema for 28 yrs now. Hoping in my lifetime this happens!!!
I Don't know english. What's the news?
I know of young , healthy people getting lymphedema from injuries sustained in auto accidents. and the following surgeries.
Also , pregnancy causes some women to be prone to lymphedema. Men having prostate surgeries can get leg lymphedema.
We need an effective cure, or many curative treatments , ASAP.
