Laboratory

Astrid Cardona, Ph.D.

Astrid is a postdoctoral fellow who studies a novel model of microglial neurotoxicity in vivo.

Michael Cossoy, M.D.

Michael is a neurologist with an interest in multiple sclerosis. He is using immunohistochemical techniques to explore the role of chemokines in inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system.

Liping Liu, M.D., Ph.D.

Liping is a postdoctoral fellow who is using genetic models to study leukocyte trafficking to the inflamed nervous system.

J. Javier Provenicio, M.D.

Javier is a neuro-intensivist and co-director of the Neuro-ICU. He studies inflammatory mechanisms of acute CNS tissue injury.

Sandhya Rani, Ph.D.

Sandhya is a Project Scientist who studies mechanisms of selective cellular responses to interferon-beta.

Margaret E. (Meggan) Sasse

Meggan is a research technologist who uses genetic models to study neuroinflammation.

Barbara Tucky, M.S.

Barbara is a Senior Research Technologist and the lab manager in the Ransohoff lab. She works predominantly with three techniques: immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry amd trans-migration. Barbara is orginally from Quebec, Canada and has been in the U.S. since 1989.

Jennifer Shrock

Jennifer is a laboratory technician.

Taofang Hu, M.D.

Taofang is a research fellow in the lab.

Erobogene Ubogu, M.D.

Erobo is a visiting professor from Case Medical School. He is a neurologist, clinical neurophysiologist and electromyographer with an interest in autoimmune/inflammatory neuropathies. Erobo is currently working on chemokine-mediated leukocyte transmigration across an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier and intends on translating this work to the peripheral nervous system.
