About: Dr. Lo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and in the Division of Reproductive and Developmental Sciences at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. She also has joint positions in the Department of Urology at OHSU and in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia. The Lo laboratory focuses on the effects of environmental exposure, in particular substance use, on male and female reproductive health, placental function and development, and offspring outcomes.  

About: Rahul D'Mello, Ph.D., graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, where he discovered his passion for research. He earned his M.D. and Ph.D. in the Medical Scientist Training Program (T32) at the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. He did his residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University, home to the NIH Perinatology Research Branch, and his Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). After completing his fellowship, Rahul will stay at OHSU as an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and pursue a career as a physician scientist under the mentorship of Dr. Lo.

About: Clayton Edenfield, Ph.D., graduated from University of Georgia in 2018 with a B.S. in Environmental Health. Next, he continued at University of Georgia, earning a Ph.D. in Environmental Health specializing in stem cells, toxicology, coculture, spermatogenesis, and male reproductive health while working in Dr. Charles Easley’s lab.

About: Elizabeth Wood, Ph.D., graduated from Brigham Young University in 2020 with a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology. Her doctoral training involved utilizing translational nonhuman primate models to understand the impact of genetics, temperament, and early life adversity on developmental outcomes, especially as they relate to risk for psychopathology. Her postdoctoral training at OHSU has involved translating her nonhuman primate work to human cohorts, as well elucidating the inflammatory mechanisms underlying the prenatal programming of infant outcomes. With her expertise in behavior, the mother-infant relationship, and child development, Dr. Wood is training with Dr. Lo and colleagues on projects related to environmental impacts on neonatal development, specifically focusing on the placenta as a substrate by which maternal health factors shape offspring health.

About: Danna Moros, M.D., graduated from the National University of Colombia. She began her career as a General Practitioner in Colombia and then transitioned to pediatrics outpatient care in the U.S. Later, she joined the Oregon Health & Science University to delve into research on the prenatal environment's impact on children's development

About: Olivia graduated from Reed College in 2020 with a B.A. in Biology. Afterwards, she continued the work of her thesis, investigating the effects of visual input on neuronal stem cell populations in the developing zebrafish optic tectum. 

About: Jason graduated from Michigan State University in 2017 with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. After graduating, he spent some time as a research assistant working on toxicokinetic studies in a wide variety of animal models. He then came to OHSU to assist in investigating the behavioral impacts of a high-fat diet and alcohol during pregnancy on infant development.

About: Adam Crosland, M.D., M.P.H., is Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist as part of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in the School of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University and is an affiliated scientist at ONPRC in Dr. Lo’s laboratory. Dr. Crosland received his Medical Degree and Master’s in Public Health from the University of Miami.  He completed his residency and fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. Adam works with Dr. Lo and colleagues on projects related to environmental impacts on neonatal development.

About: Ashley Benson, M.D., M.A., M.S., is an Assistant Professor in the division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Oregon Health & Science University and is an affiliated scientist at ONPRC in Dr. Lo’s laboratory. She completed her M.D. at Loyola University Chicago and her residency and fellowship at the University of Utah in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. She obtained her M.S. in Clinical Investigation from the University of Utah. She now works with Dr. Lo and colleagues on projects related to high-risk pregnancies with a particular focus on iron deficiency anemia.

About: Brian Scottoline, M.D., Ph.D., is a neonatologist-scientist in the Division of Neonatology in the Department of Pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University and is an affiliate scientist at the ONPRC in Dr. Lo’s laboratory.  He was a trainee of the Medical Scientist Training Program at Stanford University, where he received a PhD in Biochemistry and a MD. He completed his Pediatrics Residency at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, and his Neonatology Fellowship in the Joint Program in Newborn Medicine at Harvard/Boston Children’s Hospital. Brian works with Dr. Lo and colleagues on projects related to how the in utero environment impacts neonatal development. 

About: Lyndsey Shorey-Kendrick, Ph.D., is a Computational Biologist in the Division of Neuroscience. She completed a Ph.D. in Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at Oregon State University, in 2012, with a specific interest in how environmental exposures can interact with epigenetic programming to alter development. A major focus of Dr. Shorey-Kendrick’s research is to study the molecular pathways that contribute to effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) on lung development and lung function. In 2022, Dr. Shorey-Kendrick began working with Dr. Jamie Lo and colleagues to investigate the impacts of parental and preconception delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, main psychoactive component of cannabis) use in a non-human primate model.

Went on to receive Master of Public Health from University of California, Berkeley

Went on to continue education at University of Arizona
