She holds additional academic roles, including Associate Professor at the Cardiovascular Research Institute and Assistant Professor in the Departments of Genetics and Genome Sciences and Pathology. She is Co-Director of the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program and a Member of the Hematopoietic and Immune Cancer Biology Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. She also serves as an Investigator at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Developmental Biology and Pediatric Disorders) and held prior roles at the University of Pennsylvania (Assistant Professor, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Instructor).
Education:
- PhD in Immunology, University of Rochester (1997)
- MS in Biology, Florida International University (1990)
- BS in Biology, Florida International University (1986)
Research Focus: Her work centers on vascular system development and hypoxia-driven mechanisms. Key areas include the role of Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) and its ARNT subunit in embryonic vasculogenesis/angiogenesis, endothelial cell behavior under hypoxia, and HIF's influence on vascular smooth muscle cells and stem cell niches (e.g., bone marrow). She uses mouse embryonic stem cell models and in vivo studies to explore these processes.
External Contributions: Collaborates with institutions like The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania, extending her expertise in developmental biology and translational research.
