Dr. Afsie Sabokbar obtained her PhD at University of Essex in UK, in the field of Immunology in 1989. Thereafter she undertook 2 years post-doctoral training at University of Durham, UK, investigating a method by which elevated levels of TNF-alpha could be used to predict organ transplant rejection. From 1991 to 1994, she went to University of Cambridge, UK where she became extremely interested in the bone physiology and pathology, specifically, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved during early failure of joint replacements associated with aseptic loosening. In 1994 she started her senior post-doctoral fellowship at University of Oxford where she studied the biology of osteoclasts in depth with regards to various pathological bone disorders.
