Dr. Ghenima Dirami received a Ph.D. in biochemical endocrinology from the University of London in England. Before joining NIH, Dr. Dirami received her postdoctoral training at Georgetown University. Her research in the Lung Biology Laboratory there focused on oxidant-induced lung injury and on the role of retinoids in lung development. While in the Department of Cell Biology, she investigated the fate of spermatogonial stem cells and the role of extracellular matrix in the regulation of Sertoli cells. Dr. Dirami was recruited from the CSR’s Review Internship Program.
