Postdoctoral Fellow
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, United States
Dr. Durham recently joined the Bhoj Lab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia from the Richtsmeier Lab at Pennsylvania State University where she used her knowledge of craniofacial biology and histological identification of cellular processes and types to investigate the chondrocranium as it develops in embryonic mice. Dr. Durham received her PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the Medical University of South Carolina, where her research focused on the impact of pharmacological teratogens on stem cells resident to the craniofacial skeleton. Prior to receiving her PhD, Dr. Durham received a BA in Biology from Washington and Jefferson College and a MA in Healthcare Ethics from Duquesne University where she concentrated on ethics in biomedical research. Much of her work in the field of craniofacial biology has focused on histological identification of cell processes and cell types within the skull. She continues to use these skills as well as morphometric analyses to investigate bone development in the skull in models of pediatric neurodegeneration.
