Dr. Rhonda R. Voskuhl, M.D.
Dr. Rhonda R. Voskuhl, M.D.
Dr. Voskuhl is a Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the President of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences. She obtained her M.D. from Vanderbilt Medical School and completed her neurology residency at University of Texas Southwestern, then went on to perform her fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
While investigating neuroimmune mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Voskuhl first showed that unique estrogens called estrogen receptor (ER) beta ligands are neuroprotective. Her laboratory used genetic engineering to delete the estrogen receptor beta gene in each cell type in the brain to reveal mechanisms underlying brain repair induced by these unique estrogens. This research and associated clinical trials were conducted for Multiple Sclerosis. Since improvement in cognitive function was observed in women in her clinical trials, Dr. Voskuhl then expanded her focus and pursued a direction in women’s health, specifically the effects of estrogen loss on cognition during menopause.
In 2018, Dr. Voskuhl received the Berlin Institute of Health Excellence Award for Sex and Gender Aspects in Health Research and in 2019 was awarded the Kenneth P. Johnson Memorial Lecturer of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in MS.
