Northwestern University Medical School in the laboratory of Robert D. Goldman, whose work included the identification and characterization of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Toward the end of this time period, Dr. Green set out to clone, sequence and characterize desmoplakin, an essential molecule that links the intermediate filament cytoskeleton to intercellular junctions known as desmosomes. Her work on desmoplakin laid the foundation for an independent career beginning in 1987 as a faculty member in the Department of Pathology at Northwestern.[3]
