附Vijayalaxmi讲座教授简历
Brief CV - Vijay
Dr. Vijayalaxmi is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Her major research interest is the examination of biological/cytogenetic effects of non-ionizing radiofrequency fields in animal and human cells. She has published 90 original research papers in peer?reviewed scientific journals; four of them were in prestigious journals: three in Nature (London) and one in Science.
During her research career, Dr. Vijayalaxmi has worked in federal, academic and private institutions in several countries. After completing her Ph.D. in Southern India, she worked for the Indian Medical Research Council for 6 years. Her original work on the "genetic effects of irradiated wheat" was widely reported in scientific and political circles in India and abroad. In this connection, she attended meetings with Mrs. Indira Gandhi, late Prime Minister of India. She was invited to testify before Australian Parliamentary Committee. She spoke at a special session at the World Health Organization, and she appeared on Television documentaries produced in Australia, Britain, Denmark and Japan.
She received a post?doctoral fellowship from the World Health Organization for advanced training in cytogenetics in Scotland and Holland. She accepted the position of a Scientist in British Medical Research Council's Human Genetics Unit in Scotland and continued to work there for the next 10 years: her research focused on genetic damage in animal and human cells exposed to ionizing radiation, environmental mutagens and in several human inherited diseases. She was invited as a "guest scientist" to work on Bloom's Syndrome at the New York Blood Center, New York, and on Fanconi's anemia at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. She re?located to Switzerland to work for 2 years at the Swiss Federal Radiation Research Institute; she did original work in some aspects of the "adaptive response to low doses of mutagens/carcinogens".
She then moved to USA and worked in Memorial Sloan?Kettering Cancer Center, New York for 2 years and in a genetic toxicology testing laboratory in North Carolina for 2 years. She moved to the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1994, and started research on the biological/cytogenetic effects in mammalian cells exposed to non-ionizing radiofrequency fields.
