Cultured hippocampal cells were also studied with assays of apoptosis (propidium iodide staining and morphological criteria) and Western blots, which observed catalase and hydoxylase expression after excitotoxic insults. Furthermore, the activities of these enzymes were determined with ultraviolet spectrophotometry after excitotoxic insults.Rotation Student, University of Kentucky: Worked with Dr. Elizabeth Debski (Dept. of Biology) on a project using patch clamp electrophysiology, single-unit field recording, and substance P immunocytochemistry in slices of the frog optic tectum. (September 1995-December 1995)Rotation Student, University of Kentucky: Worked with Dr. Phillip Bonner (emeritus, Dept. of Biology) on a project using co-cultured muscle cells and neurons from the mouse dorsal root ganglia. Microinjection of fluorescein dye looked for gap junctions between the two cell types. (January 1996-May 1996)Rotation Student, University of Kentucky: Worked with Dr. Craig Sergeant (Dept. of Biology)on an ecological behavior project that taught skills in cohort choice assays in fish and evaluated the role of ultraviolet reflectivity in those choices with spectral density measurement (June 1996-August 1996)Rotation Student, University of Kentucky: Worked with Dr. Doug McMahon (Dept. of Physiology; now Chair of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt) on a project that employed PCR, cloning, and transfection of the rhodopsin gene from different species of fish (June 1996-December 1996)Doctoral Candidate, University of Kentucky: Dissertation work with Dr. Elizabeth Debski (Dept. of Biology) focused on acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and their role in the appropriate targeting of connections between the retina and the brain during early life development (August 1996-August 2000)These studies were performed in the frog optic tectum, a model system for investigating the organization of topographic maps and visual signal processing. Radioligand binding assays and quantitative receptor autoradiography assessed the pharmacology and developmental expression profiles of AChR subtypes. Intracranial implants were then used to chronically deliver drugs that blocked AChR function. Following these chronic treatments, retrograde labeling of retinal ganglion cells showed whether particular AChR subtypes were important in maintaining the structure of the visual map. A technique for culturing tectal cells was also developed for determining cell phenotypes with immunohistochemistry and studying functional AChRs with perforated and whole-cell patch clamp recordings.Scientific Consultant, Kentucky State Police Forensic Laboratory: Provided initial conception of and contributed to the building of a statistical model that correlated the chemical profiles of Cannabis sativa samples, as determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), with the locations of the samples’ origins (May 2000-August 2000)Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado: Postdoctoral experience with Dr. Allan C. Collins (now emeritus) involved four major projects focusing on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR; September 2000-June 2005)1) the potential role of a polymorphism in the ?4 nAChR subunit in nicotine and alcohol abuse, 2) the effects of ethanol, serum albumin, and fatty acids on the kinetics of nAChR function, 3) the effect of null-mutation (“knockout”) of the ?3 nAChR subunit on receptor function, anxiety-like behavior, and biochemical correlates of anxiety, and 4) the effects of genetic background on polygenic phenotypes.
