Dr. Christopher L. Edwards is a Clinical Psychologist and Research Psychoneuroendocrinologist who retired from Duke University Medical Center in February 2018 and joined NCCU as an adjunct shortly thereafter. In the departments of Psychiatry and Medicine, Dr. Edwards was the Medical Director of the Biofeedback Laboratory, and Director of the Chronic Pain Management Program at Duke University Medical Center. He has spent almost more than two decades studying the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic disorders where pain is a primary symptom, and factors that influence health outcomes among Black and other minority populations. He is the current director of the NCCU Psychoneuroendocrine and Rare Diseases Laboratory.

Dr. Edwards has published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles book chapters and other contributions to science and has given more than 500 national and international professional presentations. He received a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to understanding biopsychosocial factors associated with Sickle Cell Disease. He is the recipient of many other awards and accolades at the local, national and international levels. He is often interviewed and quoted in reputable non-scientific publications like the Wall Street Journal, Fox News as well as local and national new publications and television.

Over the past thirty years, Dr. Edwards has held concurrent faculty positions in the Department of Psychiatry, Division of Medical Psychology and Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology at Duke University Medical Center. He also maintained an appointment in the Durham Veterans Hospital, the Duke Pain and Palliative Care Center, and served as training faculty member in the Duke Residency Training Program, the Clinical Psychology Internship Program, and the Duke University's graduate program in clinical psychology. He also held academic appointments as adjunct faculty at North Carolina Central University, North Carolina A&T State University, and North Carolina State University to name a few, and was most noted for his multidisciplinary approach to science, clinical practice, and educating the next generation of professional.

Since his arrival at North Carolina Central University in 2018, Dr. Edwards helped to open the first community-based medical and psychiatric clinic at a Historically Black College or University not attached to a medical school. Since then, he opened an internationally published and exceptionally productive laboratory focused on better understanding rare diseases in disadvantaged populations. The mission of the Kylyn Love/ Edwards NCCU Psychoneuroendocrine and Rare Diseases Laboratory, as a premier research and clinically-based operation, is to use scientific peer-reviewed publications to education scientists and clinicians, lay publications and presentations in the community to educate the general public, and clinical drug trials to advance the representation of historically disenfranchised populations in drug development.

Dr. Edwards continues his work in the community, chairing and serving on the boards of non-profit and for profit organizations.
