joined the Woodruff lab as a postdoc in August 2003. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2003, working on herbal alternatives to hormone replacement therapy. She is now working on activin's role in mammary carcinogenesis and physiology.

earned her BS at Boston College and her PhD at State University of New York at Binghamton. She joined the Levine lab in April 2003. Lisa's research focuses on uncovering the metabolic cues that may regulate the onset of puberty and the maintenance of reproductive processes in adulthood. Identifying these signals and understanding thier molecular mechanisms of action in the brain may help uncover the etiology of certain fertility diseases, such as polycistic ovary syndrome.

joined the Linzer lab in 2002. She earned her MD and PhD from Suzhou
university in China. Her current research interest focuses on two placenta specific hormones, which she and others have found to be involved in early hematopoietic developments. Besides studing funtions of these two proteins during preganancy and in hematopoiesis, she is also interested in understanding how these functions are regulated, which may lead to exploration of the potential pharmaceutical role of these hormones.
