I have 32 years of experience, and specialize in the field of pharmacology with specific knowledge in the areas of drug interactions, prescription judgment and medical education. I have published on such topics as calcium signaling in muscle and erythrocytes, platelet signaling, aggregation and clotting function and neuronal toxins. I am an inventor of methods for research and for education. At 22 I was told I would have to live as a respiratory invalid but I have lived as a highly productive scientist, athlete and mother.
