Previously, Olivia worked as a scientific advisor where she focused on protection of biotechnology intellectual property. Olivia received her PhD in Immunology from Mayo Clinic School of Biomedical Sciences where she studied the endogenous antiviral mechanisms in the domestic cat. Subsequently, Olivia was awarded an NIH institutional research and academic career development award to pursue her postdoctoral studies at UCSF in the laboratory of Dr. Melanie Ott. A focus of her postdoctoral research was to identify the molecular mechanisms contributing to transcriptional repression at the HIV-2 promoter. During her tenure as a UCSF postdoctoral fellow, she also worked as an immunology consultant, where she provided technical expertise to support a biotechnology litigation case. Additionally, Olivia was an intern in the Office of Technology Management where she conducted prior art searches for patentability and determined commercial assessment of UCSF technologies.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-person-publications-list field-type-entityreference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Publications<span class="colon">:</span> </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div id="node-7091" class="node node-ucsf-publication node-teaser clearfix" about="/publications/measuring-proximity-t-lymphocyte-cxcr4-and-tcr-fluorescence-resonance-energy-transfer" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <h4><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19446736">Measuring the proximity of T-lymphocyte CXCR4 and TCR by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).</a></h4> <span property="dc:title" content="Measuring the proximity of T-lymphocyte CXCR4 and TCR by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)." class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span><span property="sioc:num_replies" content="0" datatype="xsd:integer" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span> <div class="content"> <div class="field field-name-field-publication-name field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Methods in enzymology</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-publication-authorlist field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Kumar A, Kremer KN, Sims OL, Hedin KE</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-block-1" class="block block-block placeholder--block"> <div class="content"> 聽 </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/digital-accessibility">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
