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: 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: 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.

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. 

Went on to continue education at University of Arizona

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