Julie Lockman is an accomplished academic at West Virginia University, holding dual roles as the Assistant Vice President for Graduate Education at the Health Sciences Center and a Teaching Associate Professor in the School of Medicine's Department of Physiology, Pharmacology & Toxicology. She earned her PhD from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
Her research focuses on understanding the blood-brain barrier (BBB) dynamics and drug delivery mechanisms for brain cancers and metastases. Key interests include BBB permeability, iron toxicity in neural cells, and developing novel therapeutic strategies for neuro-oncological conditions. She also explores drug efflux mechanisms and their impact on treatment efficacy in brain tumors.
Her work bridges basic science and translational research, with contributions to preclinical models of brain metastasis and drug efficacy. Notably, she investigates compounds like ANG1005 and NGP1-01, which target BBB-crossing capabilities and neuroprotection in iron-overload conditions.
While her articles emphasize oncology, pharmacology, and neurosciences, her educational role involves advancing competency-based medical training through innovative platforms like WebCT.
