CURRENT STUDENTS |
|
Amy Ditewig is a predoctoral fellow training with Dr. Romana Nowak in the Department of Animal Sciences. Her research is focused on how exposure to chemicals that bind to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor may interfere with the process of decidualization, which is a necessary part of the implantation process in rodents and humans. |
|||||||||||||
 |
Paul Eubig is a postdoctoral fellow training in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences under the tutelage of Dr. Susan Schantz. His primary research focus is on the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on the developing nervous system in rodents and the behavioral consequences of such effects. | |||||||||||||
 |
Meagan Mann is a predoctoral fellow working in Dr. John Katzenellenbogen's Chemistry lab. Her training has included site-directed mutagenesis of estrogen receptor α, synthesis of phytoestrogen analogs as selective estrogen receptor ligands, and development and synthesis of estrogen receptor proteolysis targeting chimeric molecules, or ER PROTACs. | |||||||||||||
 |
Carla Morrow is a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Rex Hess's Veterinary Biosciences laboratory. She is investigating the role of the transcription factor ERM in establishing and maintaining spermatogenesis and also testes immune privilege by using a spermatogonial stem cell transplant model. | |||||||||||||
 |
Mark Muellner is a predoctoral fellow in Dr. Michael Plewa's Crop Sciences lab. His research project is focused on the toxicity of drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs). To date, his laboratory has generated the largest quantitative, comparative toxicity database in the world, serving future toxicity, exposure and epidemiological studies. | |||||||||||||
 |
Emily Poon is a neuroscience student conducting toxicity studies Dr. Susan Schantz's Veterinary Biosciences lab. Her research interests include neurotoxicity studies such as neuroendocrine disrupters and cell chemical signaling studies. | |||||||||||||
 |
Melissa Cimafranca is a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Paul Cooke's Veterinary Biosciences laboratory. Her current research focus involves the mechanism of estrogen and phytoestrogen signaling on adipose tissue and what role cell cycle proteins have on establishing adipocyte number in the whole animal. |
