Sebastien Fuchs, MD, PhD
Research Scientist
Sebastian Fuchs is a member of the Experimental Pathology Division, studies the two catalytic domains of ACE. He and Dr. Bernstein created mouse lines lacking one of these two domains. When mice lack the N-terminal domain, they are markedly resistant to the lung injury induced by the anti-cancer agent bleomycin.
Romer Gonzalez-Villalobos, MD, PhD
Research Scientist
Romer Gonzalez-Villalobos left Tulane University to join the Experimental Pathology Division as assistant professor. Dr. Gonzalez-Villalobos was trained in renal physiology and studies the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system; he is currently investigating the relationship between the intrarenal generation of angiotensin II and the regulation of blood pressure.
Ellen A. Bernstein (nee Nielsen)

Ellen Bernstein earned her BA in biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1980. She worked at the NIAID in Bethesda, Maryland from 1980-1987, and in the Department of Pathology at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, from 2004-2008. She has been a Research Associate II in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since 2008.
