Dr. Liz Warren is a postdoctoral fellow in the Bioastronautics and Fundamental Space Biology Research Program. She completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in physiology at the University of California, Davis. Her doctoral research investigated the effects of altered gravity environments on energy balance in rodents. Prior to her appointment at USRA, Dr. Warren spent one year as an associate investigator in the Laboratory of Cell Growth at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center examining the effects of dietary fatty acids on the development of prostate cancer. In her current research at Johnson Space Center’s Neurosciences Laboratory, Dr. Warren is examining the effects of cognitive load on adaptive generalization. Her work is in support of Dr. Jacob Bloomberg’s development of an in-flight sensorimotor training regimen to facilitate the recovery of locomotor function after long-duration spaceflight.
