Instructions,
| Susan G. Shami, ScD
Dr. Shami received her Doctorate from Harvard University in Physiology with emphasis on Radiation Biology, Toxicology and Biostatistics. She previously received a BS and MS in Biology from Tufts University and an MS from Harvard University. Her doctoral dissertation was a study of lung cell proliferation during carcinogenesis after exposure to 210-Polonium and benzo(a)pyrene. Her MS dissertation from Tufts University described neuroanatomy of structures in the brain of Chrysemys Picta. Dr. Shami did postdoctoral work developing primary lung cell cultures for toxic exposures in the Department of Anatomy at Tufts Medical School. As a scientist at the Lovelace Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute, she studied cell proliferation in the lungs after exposure to various inhaled particles as well as the mechanism of these changes. She then studied sodium transport in the lungs using the isolated perfused lung model at Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Laboratory in the UCLA Department of Medicine. Before joining CH Technologies, she was an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary Division) and Anatomy and Neurosciences at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas. She was also a scientific staff member of the Shrine Burns Hospital in Galveston. At UTMB she taught microanatomy to medical students. She studied to role of endotoxin-induced inflammation in lung cell proliferation and collaborated on the study of cell adhesion mechanisms in airway epithelium at the Shrine Burns Hospital. After leaving CH Technologies to move to CA, she spent a year as a senior technical writer for a phamaceutical delivery company. Dr. Shami had a constant record of outside research funding and publications in peer-reviewed journals during her academic career. She is author of 3 chapters on lung cell kinetics in textbooks. She has reviewed for a variety of scientific journals and for the National Cancer Institute. She is a member of the American Medical Writers Association, American Board of Forensic Examiners, American Thoracic Society, New York Academy of Sciences, Radiation Research Society and Sigma Xi.
