Researcher Spotlight

previous next
  • James R. Olson, PhD, with a backdrop of Egyptian cotton workers.
    Pesticide Biomarkers
    6/19/14

    James R. Olson, PhD, has traveled to Egypt to work with cotton laborers exposed to pesticides. His research links genetics, an individual’s degree of exposure to pesticides and effects on health, seeking to improve workplace and environmental health worldwide.

  • Daniel Kosman.
    Copper and Iron Transport
    6/19/14

    Daniel Kosman, PhD, studies how organisms acquire and metabolize iron and copper, intrinsically toxic metals essential to cellular respiration and oxygen transport. One of his goals is to develop antifungal drugs to treat infections in humans.

  • David Dietz, PhD.
    Addiction: Rewiring the Brain
    6/19/14

    David Dietz, PhD, investigates cellular changes by which drugs “hijack” the central nervous system’s reward circuitry, causing addiction. He studies how differences in individuals’ molecular and behavioral plasticity mediate susceptibility to drug abuse and relapse.

  • Gabriela Popescu.
    Brain Function and Disease
    6/19/14

    Gabriela Popescu, PhD, is studying NMDA receptors in the brain, which are involved in synaptic development, plasticity, memory and learning, as well as in pathologies such as stroke, neurodegeneration, chronic pain, addiction, schizophrenia and epilepsy.

  • Margarita Dubocovich, PhD, in her lab.
    The Neuropharmacology of Melatonin
    6/19/14

    Margarita L. Dubocovich, PhD, works to elucidate melatonin’s mechanism of action and role in modulating circadian rhythms. Her lab develops novel molecules targeting melatonin receptors to treat depression, sleep disorders and cardiovascular disease.

  • Suzanne Laychock, PhD, in her lab.
    Diabetes
    6/19/14

    Suzanne Laychock, PhD, is investigating the cellular mechanisms regulating insulin secretion in pancreatic cells. Her group has used pancreatic cells in primary culture to develop in vitro systems that mimic aspects of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
