Our Team

Rhonda R. Voskuhl, M.D.

Dr. Voskuhl is a Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), holds the Jack H. Skirball Chair, is the Director of the UCLA MS Program, and is the inventor on over 10 patents related to novel estrogen treatments in the U.S. and Europe. She obtained her M.D. from Vanderbilt Medical School, completed her neurology residency at University of Texas Southwestern, then completed postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She was the President of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences, an international group leveraging differences between women and men to promote health and discover optimal disease treatments tailored for each sex. Dr. Voskuhl is currently the neurologist for the UCLA Comprehensive Menopause Care Program, where she sees menopausal women with cognitive symptoms.

In 2023, Dr. Voskuhl was named recipient of the National Institutes of Health’s R35 Research Program Award, a highly competitive award granted to approximately 10 neuroscientists across the U.S. each year. Also in 2023, Dr. Voskuhl received the Rachel Horne Prize for Women’s Health Research in MS, an international prize conferred in Milan, Italy. In 2019, she was awarded the Kenneth P. Johnson Memorial Award of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in MS, representing the U.S. and Canada. In 2018, Dr. Voskuhl received the Berlin Institute of Health Excellence Award for Sex and Gender Aspects in Health Research, an international prize conferred in Berlin, Germany.

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 women with multiple sclerosis. Since improvement in cognitive function was observed in her clinical trials, Dr. Voskuhl then pursued the effect of estrogen loss on cognition during menopause in otherwise healthy females and showed cognitive improvement and brain repair using a unique estrogen treatment. See her recent publication in the high impact journal Nature Communications (September 29, 2023).

Dr. Voskuhl’s community service has included working with Marymount High School to create their Summer Internship Program for Girls in STEM where she served as faculty mentor for five years as well as being the Girls Basketball Head Coach at St. Paul the Apostle Middle School for four years.
