MGH researchers call for greater awareness of delayed skin reactions after Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
These reactions should not discourage patients from getting the vaccine, researchers say.
Dr. Ruth K. Foreman received her medical degree from the Harvard Medical School-Health Sciences and Technology Program. Her doctorate was completed in Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the laboratory of Dr. Rudolf Jaenisch. While in Dr. Jaenisch?s lab she studied epigenetic reprogramming, and was involved in some of the initial publications of the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). The remainder of her thesis work focused on identifying non-viral alternatives, including small chemical compounds and proteins, to induce epigenetic reprogramming in differentiated cells. Dr. Foreman completed her clinical training in Anatomic Pathology at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, followed by a Dermatopathology Fellowship in the Harvard Combined Program. She is board certified in Anatomic Pathology and Dermatopathology and currently is a staff member in the Dermatopathology service. Dr. Foreman hopes to apply her background in molecular biology to her research interests in melanoma and inflammatory skin disorders.
