Jodi Ann Lapidus is a professor of biostatistics and director of biostatics education at Oregon Health &Science University (OHSU). [1]
Lapidus comes from a family of teachers. [2] She did her undergraduate studies at the State University of New York,graduating in 1986,and then earned a master's degree from Columbia University in 1988. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico in 1998 with a dissertation on Multivariate Statistical Methods Using Continuous and Discrete Data. [3]
At OHSU,she has been active in educating Native Americans about statistics, [2] and her research has also included statistical work on injury prevention and child care in Native American communities. [4]
In 2010,Lapidus took part in a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on genetic engineering of salmon. Lapidus characterized the safety studies that had been done on the fish as "preliminary" and advocated re-prioritizing such studies to focus on proving equivalence to natural fish rather than on finding differences from them. [5]
Other aspects of her research involve proteomics and biomarkers.
In 2015,Lapidus was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. [6]
Oregon Health &Science University (OHSU) is a public research university focusing primarily on health sciences with a main campus,including two hospitals,in Portland,Oregon. The institution was founded in 1887 as the University of Oregon Medical Department and later became the University of Oregon Medical School. In 1974,the campus became an independent,self-governed institution called the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center,combining state dentistry,medicine,nursing,and public health programs into a single center. It was renamed Oregon Health Sciences University in 1981 and took its current name in 2001,as part of a merger with the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI),in Hillsboro. The university has several partnership programs including a joint PharmD Pharmacy program with Oregon State University in Corvallis.

Hildegard Lamfrom was a German-American molecular biologist/biochemist. She helped develop one of the first in-vitro translation systems,using rabbit reticulocyte lysate to study protein synthesis in a cell-free context. This allowed her to make a number of contributions to the field including providing some of the first direct evidence for the existence of messenger RNA (mRNA) as a protein template,as well as the existence of polyribosomes.
Marina Elizabeth Wolf is an American neuroscientist and Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at Oregon Health &Science University. Previously she served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience in the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. She has been a pioneer in studying the role of neuronal plasticity in drug addiction. Her laboratory is particularly interested in understanding why individuals recovering from substance use disorder remain vulnerable to drug craving and relapse even after long periods of abstinence.
Joan Kilbourn was an American microbiologist and educator.
