Despite educational disadvantages, she received a Ph.D. in anatomy at UCLA Medical School and won an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship to do post-doctoral studies in Germany. Returning to the USA she served on the faculty at Washington University in St. Louis and established a laboratory for biochemical research on muscle metabolism. She was awarded numerous NIH grants, and published many research papers and book chapters. Her love of science and a need for helping others prompted her to further her education by going to medical school. She received her M.D. from Washington University Medical School followed by residency in Neurology. Her prior research interests in muscle led her to a fellowship in Neuromuscular Disease. She practiced neurology at St. Luke’s Hospital for many years, then found further rewards in semi-retirement treating underserved communities in New Mexico. She and her husband are fully retired in New Mexico.view less
