Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jacob T. Painter, Professor in Pharmacy Practice at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focuses his research on pharmacological effects and patient outcomes, particularly concerning pain management and opioid use. His work investigates risk factors and clinical outcomes associated with various medical conditions, including blood culture contamination and the use of gabapentinoids and opioids in older breast cancer survivors with neuropathic pain.

Painter's research also extends to care models aimed at improving pain management and reducing opioid reliance among patients on long-term opioid therapy. He has examined the role of buprenorphine in managing pain and opioid use in this patient population. His scholarship includes studies on depression and diabetes distress in patients with diabetes, as well as the real-world survival of first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment versus chemotherapy in older patients with non–small-cell lung cancer and brain metastases. His publication record demonstrates a commitment to analyzing real-world data to inform clinical practice.

With an h-index of 23 and over 1,600 citations across 122 publications, Painter is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Bradley C. Martin and Chenghui Li, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. He also maintains an active lab website.
