Summary of Resumé 

1972 – Present 

Employed in secretarial support positions in both university, engineering, and corporate settings 

(University of California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, engineering companies, and 

Compaq Computer Corporation). 

1993-1999 

Employed at The Texas A&M University Health Science Center’s Institute of Biosciences and 

Technology as a Staff Assistant to Dr. Leland Ellis and his lab. 

1999 – Present 

Became the contact person for very small number of IBT graduate students who had transferred 

from their graduate program at Texas A&M University (TAMU) to the IBT’s program which was in 

its early stages of development with 3 students. Concurrently, supported the interim Chief 

Information Officer of the Texas A&M University Health Science Center and his team of 

approximately five computer analysts and engineers. 

For the past five years I have been solely supporting the IBT’s graduate program. In my capacity as 

Program Coordinator I maintain and manage the graduate records of, on average 45 IBT students, 

in order to insure compliance with HSC academic policies and procedures as they relate to the 

graduate program. I serve as initial point of contact with in the IBT’s Graduate Program office and 

respond to all questions and concerns from students, faculty and staff regarding the graduate 

program. I stay current on TAMHSC student rules and regulations and provide information, or 

refer students, to TAMHSC Division of Student Services resources that can assist in meeting 

particular needs or solving problems. I confer with graduate students regarding programmatic and 

procedural requirements. 

My duties include reviewing all required forms and sending to the Associate Dean and the Director 

of Graduate Studies at the TAMHSC/GSBS office including Cooperative Consortium forms, Degree 

Plans, Petitions, Preliminary Exams, Request and Announcement of the Final Examination, and the 

Final Defense Outcome. I work with individual students to insure compliance with the TAMHSC 

Thesis/Dissertation Manual before their review by the GSBS office in College Station, prior to 

publication. I poll IBT faculty prior to each semester for courses to be included in the TAMHSC/ 

GSBS index of semester courses. 

Preparation of application packets annually for the Graduate Program Committee’s review and 

evaluation. With the Director of the IBT’s Graduate Program notify selected applicants of their

acceptance into the program. Coordinate with the Graduate Studies Office and the Office of the 

Registrar to initiate the new student’s admission process. Coordinate the new IBT Graduate 

Student Orientation and Registration each year, including the scheduling of IBT faculty 

presentations, arranging catered luncheon, working with the IBT Human Resources Office and the 

Lab Safety Office to include them in the itinerary of the Orientation for new students. 

Coordinate with the TAMHSC Office of the Registrar the admission of new students, student 

registrations, co-enrollment, course rosters, grade sheets, grade changes, and non-resident tuition 

waivers; coordinate with TAMHSC Student Business Services local fee waivers and provide the HSC 

Office of Financial Aid with Scholarship Award letters, annually, for each Graduate student at the 

IBT. Process reimbursements, through FAMIS, any purchases made for the IBT Graduate Program. 

Work with the Director and staff at the TAMHSC Office of International Services in helping IBT 

students in fulfilling their required International documents as part of their requests for, as a 

partial example, I-20 Extensions, Visa renewals, Travel and Invitation letters. 

Work with faculty and staff at The University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston and Baylor 

College of Medicine in insuring that Inter-Institutional Graduate Program forms, Course Rosters, 

and Grade Sheets are signed and returned by the requested deadline for each IBT student taking 

classes in those institutions. 

Coordinate with the TAMHSC Dean of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) the requests for

5. Research - Areas of Interest 

Past research interests - As a result of my position in Fixed Prosthodontics, my primary 

activity was in basic clinical questions relating to instruction in the undergraduate curriculum. 

They included leakage at the interface of combinations of materials used in ceramometal 

restorations, fracture strength of reinforced interim restorations, technique for fabrication of post 

and core restorations, effects of die spacing on retention of crowns, variations and uses of 

articulators and technical research in the development of articulation instruments. I was also 

involved in investigation of impact strengths of all ceramic and ceramometal crowns, wear 

characteristics of various metals, color changes due to leakage at ceramometal interfaces, 

effective selection of shades of restorations with communication to laboratories and marginal 

integrity of various combinations of materials and designs of crown margins. 

As Director of Admissions and Academic Records the responsibilities of the position required 

constant research into the population changes in the dental applicant pool, educational 

preparation of applicants, statistical analysis of admission criteria and external factors affecting 

the future of the College. The effects of the Hopwood decision to eliminate race and ethnicity as 

factors to be considered in admission to the school required reassessment of the criteria for 

admissions and research into the socioeconomic factors that affect both academic and personal 

progress. I incorporated these factors into our acceptance process. 

I was involved in a long-term project with the staff of the American Association of Dental 

Schools to develop a prototype document of Technical Standards addressing issues of admissions 

with regard to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Study of the demographic changes and 

access impacting the provision of oral health care and access to membership in the profession of 

dentistry continue to be issues in strategies to increase diversity in our entering classes. 

As Associate Dean for Student Affairs my time is currently occupied with the issues of student 

mental health, student organizations, conflict resolution, financial aid, student health, 

disciplinary due process adjudication, academic progress, faculty-student relationships, student

Areas of Research Specialization 

The long-term objective of my research is to determine how the extracellular matrix 

influences differentiation and cell regulation via second messenger pathways in whole tissues. 

Several whole tissue developmental model systems have been studied including embryonic 

cartilage and corneal epithelia. We have established that as cultured cells form focal adhesions 

in response to extracellular matrix proteins our whole tissues also have similar structures termed 

cell-matrix attachment complexes (CMAX). Both the focal adhesion and CMAX contain cell 

adhesion molecules, actin associated proteins and signaling molecules. We have shown that 

these proteins and activated signaling pathways are necessary for reorganizing actin in the

Page 8 of 33 


embryonic corneal epithelial model. The sequence of events that occur during actin 

reorganization in response to extracellular matrix molecules will be further dissected. We have 

also shown that cell-matrix interactions in whole cartilage are necessary for survival and 

differentiation. Understanding these relationships will help elucidate the events and interactions 

that are involved in tissue specific differentiation and matrix synthesis. My group has developed 

experimental approaches to examine the spatial relationships between specific cellular 

components in whole tissues. These cellular models have been used to determine the three 

dimensional relationships between organelles, cytoskeletal proteins and specific mRNA. 

In 1998 I joined the faculty at Baylor College of Dentistry. Although I’m still pursuing the 

long-term goals of my research, in the last eight years I’ve become involved in many other 

projects. The new projects (signal transduction pathways controlling palate development, 

condylar cartilage differentiation and gingival tissue response to nicotine) are related to 

craniofacial development or cell-matrix interactions in oral tissues. 

A short list of highlights of my group’s accomplishments: 

� The first to discover type IX collagen in the embryonic cornea. In addition, 

Svoboda was the first to discover that the mRNA for type IX collagen had a long 

and short form. 

� The first to show that disrupting the actin cytoskeleton in epithelial cells disrupted 

the rough endoplasmic reticulum. 

� The first to label two different populations of mRNAs in whole tissues. 

� The first to demonstrate that actin mRNA in epithelial tissues had a polarized 

distribution, similar to the protein. 

� The first to demonstrate that actin reorganization in embryonic corneal epithelia 

requires tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of proteins including: tensin, 

p190Rho Gap, FAK, and paxillin. 

� Svoboda’s laboratory was the first to show that the MAP kinase, PI3 kinase and 

RhoGTP pathways are necessary for corneal epithelial response to extracellular 

molecules. She also advanced the field by discovering that these signaling 

pathways are necessary for increased extracellular protein binding. 

� The first to describe the polarized distribution of the actin associated proteins, � 

actinin, zyxin, and vinculin in the freshly isolated corneal epithelia. This led to the 

discovery that epithelial cells have a unique area that has characteristics of both 

cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions. She calls this area the “CMAX” for Cell Matrix 

Attachment Complex. 

� Svoboda’s student, Michelle Hirsch was the first to establish an organ culture 

model in defined media for cartilage development that recapitulated normal 

development. 

� Svoboda’s student, Michelle Hirsch was the first to show that neutralizing 

antibodies to integrin molecules disrupted normal cartilage development 

establishing for the first time that this molecule was necessary for cartilage 

differentiation. 

� Svoboda’s students, Leif Lunsford and D. Erik Kern Harrington have used the 

same whole organ system for cartilage development and shown that parathyroid 

hormone delays cartilage development and decreases programmed cell death. 

� Svoboda’s student, Pei Kang has established a whole palate culture system and 

shown that nicotine blocks palate fusion by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal 

transformation. 

� Svoboda’s student, Pei Kang was the first to show that palate development 

depends on the PI3 kinase pathway. 

� Svoboda’s student, Yiyu Fang was the first to show that nicotine blocks

Page 9 of 33 


myofibroblast differentiation in human gingival fibroblasts. 

� Svoboda’s student, Yiyu Fang was the first to show that nicotine decreases 

human gingival fibroblast migration by down regulating the Rac pathways. 

� Svoboda’s student, Erik K. Harrington has shown that PTH increases cyclin d1 in 

chondrocytes and Ki67 in chondrocytes. 

� Svoboda’s student, Erik K. Harrington has shown that the sternal increased 

growth stimulated with PTH is PI3 kinase, MAP kinase and PKA dependent. In 

addition type X collagen was rescued in PI3 kinase and MAP kinase inhibitor 

treated sterna that were stimulated with PTH. 

� Svoboda’s student, Wenli Yu has shown that palate fusion is Twist dependent 

and that blocking Tfg�3 or PI-3 kinase decreased Twist expression in palatal 

tissues. Furthermore when chicken palates are treated with Tgf�3, Twist 

expression increased at 3 and 6 hrs, but returned to baseline by 24 hrs. 

� Svoboda’s postdoctoral fellow, Maria Serrano has shown that the mouse 

genotype influences it’s response to nicotine and that inbred strains are more 

susceptible to palate defects. 

� Svoboda’s postdoctoral fellows, Maria Serrano and Symone San Miguel have 

shown that cells decrease migration in the presence of nicotine because the 

leading edge cells lose RacGTP. In addition, Dr. San Miguel has shown that 

specific antioxidants can counteract the effects of nicotine on cell migration and 

RacGTP increased.

F. Research and Scholarly Activities 

1. Areas of Research and Scholarship—Lay Summary 

The general goals of my research have focused on understanding how the microenvironment 

affects vascular cell phenotype and gene expression and how these changes contribute to 

vascular remodeling during normal physiological adaptations and pathologies. The specific 

research areas that we have focused on to gain knowledge in these areas are: 

Regulation of Smooth Muscle Phenotype by Mechanical Forces: 

The native environment of vascular smooth muscle cells is rich in mechanical signals that 

potentially influence moment-to-moment changes in the cell including contractile state of the 

cells and long-term adaptations of the vascular smooth muscle cells such as growth and 

differentiated properties through changes in gene expression. We are utilizing and in vitro 

cell culture systems that allow the exposure of cells to precise cyclic strain protocols. Our 

goals are to develop and understanding of how vascular smooth muscle cells sense and 

respond to changes in mechanical strain. The types of studies that we perform include 

monitoring signal transduction events in response to mechanical strain including changes in 

phosphorylation events and intracellular calcium concentrations, and identifying genes that 

are regulated by mechanical strain and the pathways leading to their activation. 

Regulation of Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation by Oxidative Stress and Extracellular 

Matrix: 

Oxidative stress has been proposed to be a contributing factor to the development of 

proliferative smooth muscle cell phenotypes that contribute to the development of 

atherosclerosis. Our current studies are focused on understanding how oxidative stress alters 

growth related signal transduction pathways and how the extracellular matrix environment 

modulates these pathways. We are currently focusing on the role of oxidants such as 

allylamine, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide alter signaling pathways leading to increased 

proliferation and alterations in cell cycle progression. Key to these studies include 

understanding how changes in expression of integrins and extracellular matrix molecules 

contribute to the proliferative phenotypes. 

Vascular Remodeling in Response to Changes in the Mechanical Environment: 

We are employing several animal models and developing and in vitro artery culture system in 

order to explore how specific changes in arterial mechanical properties contribute to 

remodeling processes. We are utilizing a rat model of simulated microgravity (hindlimb 

unloading) to compare alterations in gene expression in cerebral vessels that hypertrophy, 

and skeletal muscle arterioles that atrophy by different mechanisms to try to better 

Page 17

understand the remodeling processes in each vessel. Similarly, we are utilizing a rat model of 

hypertension to systematically identify changes in extracellular matrix and integrin 

expression and that contribute to the remodeling process. Finally, we are developing a mouse 

carotid artery in vitro culture system that will allow us to maintain mouse carotid arteries in 

culture for 7-10 days at precise flow rates and pressures in order to gain a better 

understanding of the temporal and spatial affects on function, structure and gene expression 

in response to altered mechanical environments. The use of this system in conjunction with 

genetically altered mice and utilization of methods to vary expression of specific genes 

(adenovirus, SiRNA) will allow us to begin to understand the role of specific genes in 

vascular remodeling events. Most recently, we have focused on the role of TGF-beta 

signaling in the development of aortic aneurysms, hypertension and the molecular signaling 

pathways regulating vascular cell responses to these signals.
