Biography

Dr. Margaret Simonian has PhD in Advanced Medicine and MPhil in Biological Sciences from Macquarie University- Australia. She works as a Research Scientist at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and previously as a Research Fellow at LA-Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA. Her research interests focuses on utilizing Proteomics and Molecular Biology in biomarker discovery and drug development of diseases, such as brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), brain tumours and aneurysms and multiple sclerosis. Her research on brain AVMs was the first to utilise proteomics to identity protein targets of AVM molecular and vascular therapies post radiosurgery. She presented her research in many international conferences and published in many peer reviewed journals. She is also a reviewer for the Journal of Proteomics, Journal of Arthritis & Research Therapy and Journal of European Proteomics. An Associate Editor for the Journal of Applied Biotechnology and Bioengineering, and Editorial Board Member for Journal of Data Mining in Genomics & Proteomics, and Journal of Science publications, as well as an Organizing Committee Member for the International Conference on Precision Medicine 2017.
