During my 20 years of research experience, my work's primary theme has been epithelial cell plasticity in respiratory diseases and cancer. Over the years, I have developed my skills as a productive translational research project leader and team scientist with a proven track record of success. I have successfully managed resources, people, and experiments to ensure timely data delivery, presentations, publications, and grants. I am eager to apply my extensive translational research and scientific experience to new and exciting career opportunities.
The major goal of my thesis was to elucidate mechanisms which can counteract atrophying skeletal muscle in systemic diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). My thesis focused on the role of GSK-3β in skeletal muscle growth, and I identified GSK-3β as an important regulator of skeletal muscle plasticity.
