Also, isolation of blood neuron-derived exosomes can be a window into the health of brain neurons and can be used as biomarkers for cognitive impairment in HIV, Alzheimer's and post COVID sequelae. She is former President and continuing Board of Directors Member of the Society for Neurovirology as well as a member of several journal Editorial Boards. Dr. Pulliam is Director of Microbiology at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center where she teaches microbiology to Infectious Disease and Laboratory Medicine residents and fellows.
