RESEARCH INTERESTS: 

Dr. Stovall is an academic rheumatologist and clinical researcher whose research focuses on outcomes in spondyloarthritis. She uses large observational datasets, including electronic health record data, to answer important questions that cannot be answered by clinical trials due to the need for larger numbers of patients followed over longer periods of time. She is currently studying sex differences related to clinically important outcomes among patients with spondyloarthritis. She is a member of the Spondyloarthritis Research and Treatment Network (SPARTAN) and Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS).
