I am originally from Durham, NC. I attended Duke University as an
undergrad (didn't venture too far from home!), and majored in
biomedical engineering. After graduation, I worked for a year at the
NIEHS in Research Triangle Park as an assistant in the confocal
microscopy core facility. I'm married to Jason Glaw, and we have one
holy terror of a cat. In my spare time, I make jewelry and ride my
scooter.
PhD Candidate, Biomedical Engineering, 2004 - present
Bachelor of Science, Biomedical Engineering, May 2004
I'm interested in the role of bone marrow derived cells in
microvascular remodeling. Currently, I'm using a chimeric mouse model
to study the effects of PDGF-BB in capillary growth after chronic
hypoxia exposure. I still love confocal microscopy after my stint at
the NIEHS, and I use it to image the microvascular networks of the
spinotrapezius muscle. I'm also interested in agent-based modeling.
