معرفی
My N Helms is a Research Fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine at the School of Medicine, University of Utah. With a PhD from Dartmouth Medical School and postdoctoral training at Emory University and Dartmouth, Helms specializes in redox biology, epithelial sodium channel regulation, and lung injury pathophysiology. Their work bridges molecular mechanisms with clinical applications in pulmonary diseases and inflammation.
Research Focus: Helms investigates how oxidative stress modulates ion channel activity (ENaC) in lung tissues, exploring protective roles in neonatal hyperoxia injury. Their studies connect HMGB1 signaling to inflammation in metabolic diseases and analyze immune dynamics in placental disorders and salivary gland cancers.
Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize redox-sensitive ion transport, covid-19 mechanisms, and tumor microenvironment complexity. Collaborative work spans cellular physiology, translational oncology, and reproductive immunology.
Education Background:
- BS: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- PhD: Dartmouth Medical School
- Postdoctoral Fellowships: Emory University School of Medicine (twice), Dartmouth Medical School
