Professional Bio
Dr. Edith Lord is the Senior Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs at the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Dr. Lord received her BA degree in microbiology from the University of Kansas in 1970 and a Ph.D degree in immunology from the University of California at San Diego in 1975. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California at San Francisco. Dr. Lord leads the School of Medicine and Dentistry's Ph.D., postdoctoral and master's degree programs. As a faculty member since 1976, Dr. Lord has demonstrated excellence as a scientist and dedication to her position as Senior Associate Dean.
From 2006-2008, Dr. Lord led the graduate program in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. She also directs the school's Post-baccalaureate Research and Education Program (PREP), which encourages underrepresented minorities to pursue a research doctorate and prepares them for careers as scientists and leaders in the biomedical community.
In her research, Dr. Lord focuses on the immune responses that can control tumor development and also studies the unique microenvironment present within growing tumors. She has published, as author and co-author, more than 100 scientific articles and continues her passion for research today.
