Miranda Lim Earns Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers

Earlier this year, president Joe Biden recognized Miranda Lim, M.D., Ph.D. (OHSU) with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) – the nation’s highest honor for early-career researchers.

Dr. Lim is one of only 14 recipients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and among about 400 awardees nationwide. Her pioneering work explores how sleep impacts neurodegeneration and aging, advancing research that bridges sleep, brain health, and disease prevention.

At OHSU and the VA Portland Health Care System, Dr. Lim was recently promoted to Professor in the Departments of Neurology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Medicine, and serves as staff physician with the MIRECC and PADRECC.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Lim’s groundbreaking work and well-deserved recognition!
