Biography
Licy L. Yanes Cardozo, MD, is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Medicine/Endocrinology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. She received her Medical Degree at the National University of Asuncion (Paraguay) and performed her residency in Internal Medicine at the same institution. Later on, she performed postdoctoral studies studying the mechanisms by which androgens regulate blood pressure under the mentorship of Dr. Jane Reckelhoff at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. After she rose to the academic rank of Assistant Professor in Physiology, she joined the Department of Medicine, where she completed a residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Endocrinology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
She is a physician-scientist with dual appointments as an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Medicine (Endocrinology) at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. She is engaged in basic and clinical research and clinical practice. Her research focuses on the mechanisms by which androgen excess mediates cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in women. She has published over 70 original manuscripts and book chapters. Her research has been funded by the American Heart Association, Endocrine Fellows Foundation, and National Institutes of Health.
