Research Opportunities in Drug Discovery for the Neuropeptide S Ssytem and Validation of an animal model for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Posted by Tim on March 14, 2022 in Academics, Honors Experiences, Research Information and Opportunities

A South Campus Lab is looking for enthusiastic people. The research conducted in our laboratory ranges from the molecular to the whole animal.  The particular duties assigned to the student will be determined by the experiments which are currently in progress and are likely to include animal husbandry, behavioral testing and histological analysis.

Currently there are two main projects:

1) Drug discovery for the Neuropeptide S system

2) Validation of an animal model for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

The students are encouraged to take on more responsibility as they become proficient with laboratory skills.  Our end goal is to have the student conduct small independent research projects.
