Summary: My interdisciplinary research program broadly includes examination of maternal stress-related disorders and health indicators/behaviors around pregnancy that lead to offspring risk for [...]
Summary: The primary focus of my research program over the past twenty years has been to investigate the molecular neurochemistry of the serotonin system in major depressive disorder (MDD), but [...]
Summary: My lab studies the structure and stability of proteins by exploring the biochemistry of the tRNA synthetases. These enzymes carry out a required cellular reaction- the attachment of the [...]
Summary: Our laboratory investigates the molecular basis of ion channel function. These proteins include the voltage-gated channels of nerve and muscle and the neurotransmitter receptors in the [...]
Summary: Sustainability, Materials Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Green Chemistry and Materials Degradation in the Environment Minimum Classes: Pak lab [...]
Summary: Mechanisms of non-enzymatic glycation of human proteins and implications for diabetes mellitus Drs. Ken Rodnick (Department of Biological Sciences) and Robert Holman (Department of [...]
Summary: The focus of our research program in reproductive physiology is on the hormonal regulation of embryo implantation. Investigations into this phenomenon are important because failure of [...]
Summary: My main interests are in Microbial Diversity, the Molecular Adaptation of Enzymes to Extreme Environments, and the interplay of pathogenic microorganisms, bacteriophage, and natural [...]
Summary: The Thomas lab is starting a new project involving the causes of autism. They are testing the hypothesis that pharmaceutics & personal care products (PPCPs), found in aquatic systems [...]
