Description
Dr. Hodge is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Immunology at the University of North Texas, and holds a joint appointment with the Osteopathic Research Center at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Texas. In addition, Dr. Hodge is the Basic Science Research Chair for the National Osteopathic Heritage Foundation. She also serves on the Louisa Burns Osteopathic Research Committee (national) and the Commission for Osteopathic Research, Practice and Promotion (international). Dr Hodge is a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Blood and Lymph and the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
