Victoria Ramsauer,
Ph.D.
is an
Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at East
Tennessee State University College of Pharmacy.
Dr. Ramsauer received her Ph.D. in Biology at Florida
International University, where she worked with Dr. Stephen A. Winkle,
in the Department of Chemistry. Her research work focused on the binding
of small molecules to DNA junctions and its implications on polymerase
function.
Dr. Ramsauer did her postdoctoral training at the
University of Miami School of Medicine and Sylvester Cancer Center where
she worked with Dr. Kermit Carraway on mucin4 and tumor cell biology.
She is currently working on an NIH/NCI funded project on the
implications on neoplasia of the interaction between mucin4 and ErbB2.
