New FNNDSC Members:

Please Welcome Spencer Cushen!

Spencer is a visiting DO/PhD candidate from University of North Texas Health Science Center, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM). He received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Baylor University in 2015 and went on to pursue his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) at TCOM. During the summer between first and second year, he engaged in research on the antioxidant regulation of arteries in hypertensive pregnancy in Dr. Stella Goulopoulou’s lab. Ultimately, he decided to pursue a PhD in this lab. During his project, he demonstrated that mtDNA was increased in the third trimester of women with healthy pregnancies, that mtDNA was suppressed in women with preeclampsia when assessed along several other demographic and biochemical markers, and that innate immune system stimulation alone was insufficient to induce features of preeclampsia in a pregnant rat model. He successfully defended his dissertation in June 2021 prior to returning to medical school to finish out the third and fourth years of his DO degree. He will be working in Dr. Ellen Grant’s lab to annotate, segment, and reconstruct abdominal MRI data of pregnant women. This is being done to determine placental and fetal biometrics to support the goal of generating models to assess fetal MRI safety. Spencer will be applying to Interventional Radiology / Diagnostic Radiology (IR/DR) residency in Fall 2022. When not in the lab or hospital, he enjoys rock climbing, mapping out and visiting coffee shops, and spending time with friends and family.
