个人简介

B.A., Mount Holyoke College, 1997 Ph.D., Medical College of Wisconsin 2007 Postdoctoral Fellow, The Scripps Research Institute and University of California, San Diego, 2007-2012.

研究领域

Analytical, Biochemistry, & Biology

My research group focuses on utilizing novel technologies to develop new therapeutics and diagnostics for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The development of mutli-functional drugs, i.e. theranostics, allows simultaneous imaging of tissue pathology coupled with treatment, increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity. To this end, my group uses mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, molecular imaging, and viral nanoparticles to identify and target cellular pathways that are involved in disease pathogenesis.
