Dr. Gottlieb has authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications and has presented her research at more than 300 national and international conferences.

    Prior to joining UT Southwestern, Dr. Gottlieb held leadership positions at institutions including Tufts Medical Center and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
