Lisa Golden PhD

Lisa Golden is a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Wendy Macklin's lab at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. She is focusing on understanding how microglia affect demyelination and repair in a novel in vivo model of multiple sclerosis (MS) using recombinant antibodies cloned from MS patients. This project is done in collaboration with Drs. Jeff Bennett and Greg Owens are here at Anschutz. She is also utilizing cerebellar slice cultures to aid in our understanding of de/remyelination mechanisms induced by these antibodies.

She completed her Ph.D. at UCLA in the Molecular Biology Interdepartmental Program in June 2021. Her Ph.D. work was done in the lab of Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl where I studied sex differences in disease susceptibility and progression of MS in the in vivo model of MS, EAE. She received my BS in Biochemistry and BA in chemistry at the University of Iowa and made the switch to MS during her graduate career due to my interest in translational research in MS.
