I am here for Friends

About Me

I am originally from NYC; born and raised in Flushing, Queens. I went to college in Manhattan for 4 years (Columbia U.) and then moved to Irvine, California for graduate school in 1993. While at UC Irvine, I met my sweetie, David Cowper, and we got married in 1997. Three years later, I completed my PhD in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry and moved on to a Postdoctoral position at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology in San Diego. Currently, I'm an Assistant Researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. I hope to run my own independent research lab one day! My interests lie in understanding the biochemical pathways associated with cell death/apoptosis in the overall realm of cancer research. www.teitell-lab.com
