Manuela Martins-Green
Professor, Cell Biology

I obtained a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology from the University of California at Davis, did a postdoc at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in Cell and Molecular Biology and spent a year as adjunct Assistant Professor at Rockefeller University before joining the faculty at UCR as an Assistant Professor. I am now an Associate Professor of Cell Biology.

Research in my laboratory focuses on understanding the functions of chemokines in wound healing and tumorigenesis. We combine studies in vivo using animal systems with studies in vitro. Recently, we have developed a skin organ culture using only human cells that we are now using to simulate studies in humans and hope to further develop as skin replacement for problematic wound healing. We have discovered that IL-8, an important human chemokine, accelerates wound healing and stimulates development of new blood vessels. These findings may have clinical application because this class of proteins and their receptors are highly amenable to drug development.

Sharon V. Salinger
Dean, Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences

Sharon V. Salinger specializes in early American history. Her first book, To Serve Well and Faithfully (Cambridge University Press, 1987) traces the history of unfree labor, servants and slaves, in colonial Pennsylvania. Taverns and Drinking in Early America (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002) explores the obvious and obscure ends that alcohol met in colonial society. The book challenges the prevailing view that taverns tended to break down class and gender differences. Instead, she argues they did not signal social change so much as buttress custom and encourage exclusion. She is currently working on a book-length study, with Cornelia Dayton, on poverty and migration into eighteenth-century Boston. Her articles have appeared in the Journal of American History, Labor History, The William and Mary Quarterly, The Journal of Interdisciplinary History and The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography. She joined the history department at UCR in 1980 and has, for the past six years, served as the Associate Dean of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.

Katja Lindenberg
Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry

I was born and raised in Ecuador and came to the US when I was almost 16 years old. I did my undergraduate work at Alfred University (major: Mathematics) and my graduate work at Cornell University (Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics). Following a two-year postdoc in Physics at the University of Rochester, I came to UCSD in 1969 to join the Chemistry (now Chemistry and Biochemistry) Department and have been here since then.

My field of research is theoretical chemical physics, and focuses on understanding the interactions of physical systems with their environment. These questions are particularly challenging when the systems are non-linear and small, and/or their interactions with the environment are strong. The contexts in which we ask these questions are extremely varied, and our approaches eclectic. We are interested in the equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of nonlinear classical and quantum systems. We deal with a variety of phenomenological stochastic models in which nonlinearity and fluctuations coexist and this coexistence leads to interesting phenomena that would not arise but for the complex interplay. We deal with reaction-diffusion systems and associated pattern formation problems. We are interested in signal propagation in nonlinear thermal arrays and in understanding chemical reaction rates in condensed media.

I teach mostly at the upper division (Physical Chemistry, Mathematics for Chemists) and graduate (Statistical Mechanics) levels, and am actively involved in Academic Senate activities. I have been chair of my department, chair of the Senate, and most recently co-chaired our campus’ Faculty Gender Equity Task Force.
