Biography

Izabella Damm recently joined our lab as a staff research associate. She hails from Poland where she did her undergraduate work but has been at UCSF for over 24 years in Dr. Walter L Miller's group where she had a lab management role and was providing molecular and cell biology support for research in human steroid biosynthesis. Izabella has been acknowledged as a contributor for 13 research articles in peer reviewed journals published by the Miller lab in USCF from 2005 to 2013 as well as a named co-author on one.
