Celebrating Women and Girls in Science

We're celebrating @HopkinsMedicine women and girls in science with the #PassthePhone trend.

🔬Aline Thomas, PhD, researches the development of translatable imaging biomarkers to improve treatment management, with a focus on immunotherapies.

🪰 Deborah Andrew, MS, PhD, studies the embryos, salivary glands, tracheal segments (tubes that supply oxygen to an insect) among other systems of fruit flies (Drosophila), and aims to uncover the gene networks that govern how organs develop.

🥼Rajini Rao, PhD, studies the roles of intracellular ion transport as a way to find therapeutic opportunities for chronic and inherited diseases.

🧪 Jamie Spangler, PhD, engineers natural proteins and designs new ones to create new targeted drugs against diseases.

🫀 Jennifer Pluznick, PhD, Studies how novel sensory receptors play roles in the kidney and cardiovascular system

🧠Valina Dawson, PhD, studies cell signaling pathways that lead to either neuronal survival or neuronal death and aims to find new therapies and innovative treatments for brain disease.
