Theresa N ScheinTheresa Schein received her B.S. in Biology (cum laude) from the University of South Carolina, Aiken where she studied HIV and molecular cloning. Dr. Schein then attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham where she earned her Ph.D. on the role f complement in the development and progression of cerebral malaria. Publishing numerous manuscripts on the role of complement components in experimental cerebral malaria, her studies were seminal in establishing the therapeutic potential of inhibiting the complement terminal pathway in this infectious disease. Upon graduation, she received the Dean's Outstanding Student Award, among others. She then pursued a short postdoctoral study on the role of the terminal complement pathway in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at UAB, before transitioning to an entrepreneurial role in a small startup out of St. Louis. While her collaborative efforts have spanned her complement research from infectious to autoimmune disease as demonstrated by her publishing record, Dr. Ramos is currently working on the development of complement centric diagnostics for use in bacterial meningitis.
