职业经历

Dr. Thompson 主要致力于肾生理学/内分泌学、糖尿病和生殖学领域的科学研究。在博士研究阶段，她深入探究了类固醇代谢对肾功能的影响，并通过博士后阶段进一步研究了各种系统(包括人类胎盘和糖尿病模型鼠)中的类固醇代谢。她还研究了葡萄糖毒性对糖尿病动物模型细胞内信号传导的影响。研究技能包括：类固醇放射免疫试验，组织学，mRNA/DNA 提取和纯化，RT-PCR， 原位 RT-PCR，原代细胞培养，DNA 纯化、复制及足迹法，Northern、Southern 和 Western 免疫印迹，光学/荧光/共焦显微法等。Dr. Thompson 具有出色的写作技巧，著有大量的同行评审期刊文章，从事了五年的全职医学作者工作，写作范围涉及糖尿病学、胃肠病学、免疫学、肿瘤学和哮喘等众多领域。Dr. Thompson 从 2008 年起开始为 Edanz Editing 工作。

Dr. Thompson's scientific background is in physiology with an emphasis on renal physiology/endocrinology, diabetes and reproduction. For her PhD she investigated the effects of steroid metabolism on renal function and as a Postdoctoral Fellow she focused on steroid metabolism in various systems including human placenta and diabetic mice models. She also investigated the impact of glucose toxicity on intracellular signaling in diabetic animal models. Technical skills include steroid radio-immunoassay, histology, mRNA/DNA extraction and purification, RT-PCR, in situ RT-PCR, primary cell culture, DNA purification, cloning and footprinting, Northern, Southern and Western blots and light/fluorescence/confocal microscopy. Dr. Thompson has excellent writing skills and has written numerous peer-reviewed journal articles. She has over 5 years’ experience as a full-time Medical Writer in a wide range of topics including diabetes, gastroenterology, immunology, oncology and asthma.
