In 2003, Dr. Marjorie Grafe
joined the Research Division of the Department of
Anesthesiology and Peri-Operative Medicine (APOM) at
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Her
primary appointment is in the Department of
Pathology, where she is Professor, Vice Chair for
Education and Medical Director of the Neuropathology
Division. She also maintains an active,
comprehensive clinical neuropathology practice.
Dr. Grafe is an active educator
at both the medical school and post-graduate
levels. She is a member of the School of Medicine
Curriculum Committee and teaches in a number of SOM
courses. She is Director of the Neuropathology
Fellowship Program and participates in the training
of residents in Pathology, Neurology, and
Neurosurgery.
Dr. Grafe’s primary research
interests involve ischemic brain injury. She has
joined with investigators at the University of
California, San Diego (UCSD), the University of
Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and OHSU to study
cerebral ischemia in the adult, and she has a
particular interest in the study of perinatal
ischemic brain injury.
Dr. Grafe oversees APOM’s
histopathology lab, which provides analytical
services for several of our research projects. She
supervises the histology technicians in routine
histology, immunohistochemistry, and development of
new immunohistochemistry protocols and other
techniques. She also works closely with the
postdoctoral fellows to teach them the appropriate
interpretation of histopathology for their projects,
and she provides quality control for pathology
interpretation as needed.
Dr. Grafe received the Bachelor
of Arts in Psychology from Stanford University in
1976 and the Ph.D. in Neurosciences from the
University of Florida in 1981. In 1985, she earned
the M.D. from Stanford University and completed
post-graduate training in Anatomic Pathology and
Neuropathology at UCSD in 1989. Prior to coming to
OHSU in 2003, she served on the faculty at UCSD and
UTMB. |
