Jan Buss, Ph.D.
Dr. Jan Buss received a PhD in physiology and pharmacology from the University of California, San Diego. She completed post-doctoral training at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, then ran her own laboratory at what is now the Sandford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. Dr. Buss next taught biochemistry at Iowa State University, followed by a stint as Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy. Through all this, her academic research focused on how lipid modifications enable Ras proteins to bind to membranes and cause cancer. Ten years ago, Dr. Buss left academia and cancer research to join TechLab in Blacksburg, Virginia, as a Senior Research Scientist who leads teams in the commercial development of medical diagnostic kits for intestinal diseases. At TechLab, Dr. Buss designed an assay for a host biomarker of intestinal inflammation and healing. That assay has now been used in developing countries around the world to help identify children with tenacious and worsening malnutrition. Dr. Buss has also led teams that have designed, developed, built, and FDA-cleared several product kits to help identify Campylobacter in human stool. |
