I am presently a Health Science Administrator at the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) of the National Institutes of Health, where I manage the review of applications that cover Developmental Biology, stem cells in regenerative medicine and S.T.E.M. education, among other areas. Prior to joining CSR, I was a professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, where my laboratory investigated how members of a conserved subfamily of transcription factors govern protective responses to xenobiotic toxins and microbial pathogens. During my postdoctoral training at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, I studied how the mammalian transcription factor CREB and its homologues activate gene expression by recruiting CBP/p300 histone acetyltransferase enzymes to target promoter DNA. I received the Ph.D. in 1990 from the Dept. of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I investigated early biochemical steps in the regulation of mammalian RNA polymerase II.
