Scientist Career Research and Resources

Oregon Health and Science University

Research - Scientist - Portland, OR

In this position I built on earlier studies in which I established an influence of sex hormones on autoimmune disease susceptibility by examining the mechanism behind the protective effect of estrogen (E2). The most important of scientific contributions was my cutting edge study in which I demonstrated for the first time that E2 had the ability to protect against experimental model of Multiple Sclerosis by expanding regulat...

Oregon Health and Science University

Research - Scientist - Portland, OR

As a research fellow I designed and preformed in vivo and in vitro studies aimed at characterizing the role of sex hormones in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Using a variety of immunoassays I investigated into the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of E2. I achieved numerous original contributions in the area of neuroimmunology with implications for the new drug development and fu...

University of Missouri

Research - Scientist - Columbia, MO

My Ph.D. thesis encompassed two projects. Firstly, I cloned and characterized an estrogen receptor-negative cell line derived from estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 cells. This cell line has turned out to be a valuable tool for studies on the function of estrogen receptors in human breast cancer cells. These studies resulted in collaborations with several different labs that resulted in several publications (see below). In s...
