(Ph.D. 1994; postdoctoral M.P.H. in Epidemiology, 1997; University of Pittsburgh), Assistant Professor of Anthropology, is a biological anthropologist whose expertise revolves around evolutionary and epidemiological modeling of women’s health issues, cardiovascular health, and substance abuse. She has experience as an analyst in the pharmaceutical industry (pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism), and has done extensive university teaching at several schools within the University of Pittsburgh system, Maryville University, and Carlow College. She has been utilized as an independent analytical consultant to federally-funded researchers in psychology and addiction medicine, and is the former Director of Analytical Services for the Clinical Trials Group of UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute’s Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (ISAP), for which she and her team handled all statistical/analytical issues for all clinical trials, including complex single- and multi-site clinical trials containing biomedical, behavioral, demographic, economic, cost-benefit, safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data. Her research has included topics within women’s health (Premenstrual Syndrome, menopause), cardiovascular health (perimenopausal changes in cardiovascular health in women, intra-abdominal adipose tissue as a cardiovascular risk factor), substance abuse and treatment (clinical trials of new pharmacological products for addiction, women and substance abuse), and evolutionary and epidemiological sciences.
