My responsibilities as a lab manager include but are not limited to budget analysis, consulting on personnel decisions, maintaining current animal and biological safety protocols, and procurement of new equipment and supplies. In addition to these responsibilities, I continue to maintain an active research role in the laboratory continuing to study the.

Department Of Neuroscience

As a postdoctoral fellow I was responsible for designing and preforming experiments and analyzing data in order to publish our results in highly respected peer-reviewed journals. My studies were focused on characterizing the role of two calcium-sensing proteins (synaptotagmin and Doc2) in regulating synaptic vesicle release. Using a reconstituted membrane.

Grand Forks, North Dakota

As a postdoctoral fellow in my graduate lab I continued my studies on inhibitor and substrate induced conformational changes in the dopamine transporter (DAT). I used the substituted cysteine accessibility method (SCAM) to study the aqueous accessibility of the transporter during inhibitor binding and substrate transport. I generated several cysteine point.

Grand Forks, North Dakota

As a graduate student I characterized the molecular determinants of the dopamine transporter (DAT) responsible for inhibitor binding and substrate translocation. Prior to the crystallization of the Leucine transporter (LeuT) - a DAT homolog - in 2009 very little structural information was available. To understand how psychoactive molecules such as cocaine.
