Andreea graduated from medical school at “Ovidius” University of Constanta in Romania. Starting July 2003, she was recruited by Virginia Commonwealth University Reanimation Engineering Shock Center (VCURES), for a post-doctoral program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, “Effects of Androstenetriol (AET) Induced Immunomodulation in the Treatment of Traumatic Shock”.  Her work focused on rodent survival studies in trauma-hemorrhage and shock models.

Currently, she is continuing her work as a post-doctoral research fellow, focusing on the alternative splicing of caspase 9 and Bcl-x in response to signaling.

 Her hobbies include outdoor activities, playing tennis, foreign languages. Although I am from Romania, I am NOT a vampire!!
