SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Oxygen is vital for all life, but in the human body, the level of oxygen must be just right. Too much or too little oxygen can contribute to the damage caused by a variety of medical conditions, from heart attacks, to cancer, to neurodegenerative diseases.
Understanding the precise balance of oxygen levels in biological processes and how to fine-tune them to potentially treat disease is the main research focus of Isha Jain, PhD, who is joining Gladstone Institutes as an assistant investigator.
