<p> Dr. Voskuhl attended Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma on full basketball and academic scholarships. She received her M.D. from Vanderbilt Medical School and completed neurology residency at the University of Texas Southwestern. Her fellowship years were spent in the Neuroimmunology Branch, NINDS, NIH. Dr. Voskuhl joined UCLA as Assistant Professor of Neurology in 1995, was promoted to Associated Professor in 2000 and Professor in 2004. She is Director of the UCLA MS Program. She received the Jack H. Skirball Endowed Chair in Multiple Sclerosis in 2006. She has received numerous grants from both the NIH and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Dr. Voskuhl???s laboratory is focused upon understanding the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) through use of the murine model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). She does basic science and also novel clinical trial design. She has studied the effect of sex hormones and sex chromosomes on both inflammation and neurodegeneration. This basic research has led to two novel pilot treatment trials in MS, as well as a multicenter trial at several sites in the U.S. In summary, Dr. Voskuhl???s research focus is to make basic discoveries at the research bench and to move them to novel therapies at the bedside, a prototypic example of translational research. </p> <div> Her current titles include: </div> <div>Jack H.
