Amy E Moran
Dr. Moran earned her PhD in Microbiology, Cancer Biology and Immunology from the University of Minnesota where she developed the Nur77GFP mouse to reveal how T cell receptor signal strength was critical for lineage fate decisions during development. She joined the Department of Cell, Developmental & Cancer Biology at Oregon Health & Science University in 2017 and is currently an Associate Professor. Her research focuses on how androgens regulate immunobiology. Her group utilizes a variety of tools to interrogate these fundamental and translational questions including transgenic and chimeric mouse models, infections, in vivo tumor modeling, in vitro cellular assays, monoclonal antibodies and small molecules as cancer therapeutics, single cell ‘omics, and flow cytometry. She partners with clinicians and computational biologists, training graduate students and postdocs within her laboratory with an overall goal of moving benchtop discoveries back into the clinic for the care of patients with cancer. Away from work, Dr. Moran enjoys spending time with her family in the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest, skiing, camping, hiking, and crabbing.
