Wendy F. Sternberg, Ph.D. (University of California, Los Angeles)

Labmate


1990-1993
 

John Liebeskind's last graduate student. Still a close friend of Jeff's (their families vacationed together each summer for over 12 years), Wendy was co-discoverer of the female-specific analgesic mechanism in 1993. Wendy is currently Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, Occidental College.
