Elizabeta Nemeth is an American physiologist who has made many contributions to the understanding of inflammatory disorders, thalassemias, and iron overload diseases.[1]
Biography edit
Nemeth obtained her degree in molecular biology and physiology from the University of Belgrade and then earned a neuroscience degree from the University of Hawaii in 1998. She did postdoctoral research in the area of ovarian cancer and later worked at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. In 2001, she became a member of the Department of Medicine at UCLA, where she worked on iron metabolism and the hormone hepcidin.[2][3] In 2007, the American College of Nutrition honored her with the Grace Goldsmith Award.[4] Currently she is a co-founder of Intrinsic LifeSciences,[4] and is an associate professor at the UCLA Center for Iron Disorders.[5] Her research has suggested treatments for anemia and iron overload.[6]
