Dr. Shabina Rehman PhD is a full time researcher at University of West Virginia, Morgantown, WV. Dr. Rehman has achieved a unique ability in her field of ?Cellular Injury/Defense Responses? research. Dr. Rehman has made critical contributions on cardio-protective effects and mechanisms of beetroot juice, a nonalcoholic wine alternative, in cardiac arrests. Dr. Rehman?s also provided a critical evidence for the investigations in Alcohol-Vitamin D-T Cell defense axis that not only directly influences management strategies for pathologies of kidney where Vitamin D is metabolized but also in immune conditions like HIV where T cell numbers are drastically reduced and consequent effector immune response is compromised (https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh333/203-218.htm).
