Sensory Research for Reduced Harm.

Patch clamp electrophysiology doing cell-attached, voltage clamp recordings and analysis using pClamp software Investigated effects of brain neurotransmitter (BDNF and insulin) on potassium ion channels found widely expressed in the olfactory bulb and cortex, and in the immune system (microglia and T lymphocytes) Developed protocol for harvesting and culturing mouse olfactory bulb slices for investigating the role of potassium currents, brain neurotransmitters and their interaction with kinase proteins implicated in sensory transduction of olfactory information, learning and memory and neuronal survival Performed immunohistochemistry on olfactory bulb slices to detect changes of expression profiles in proteins of interest for different experimental conditions Developed assays and experiments to investigate the effects of cancer related scaffolding proteins and modulators on the function of prominent potassium channel implicated in relaying olfactory sensory information to the brain Collected data used for submission in NIH R01 grant for successful renewal Optimized olfactory behavioral experiments in genetically modified mice to detect differences in olfactory systemSupervision of undergraduate researchHypothesis development, experimental design and statistical analysis
