Jeremy McIntyre, Ph.D.
Kalene Jasso
Kalene received her Bachelor’s in Science in Biology and Life Sciences Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2017. Her previous research experiences vary from relationship of sleep fragmentation and synaptic plasticity to using bioinformatics to study the diversification of alpine beetle species in regards to climate change. Her current research in the lab focuses on studying the neuromodulatory affects of MCHR1 on olfactory driven and motivated behaviors.
Lindsey Jackson
Lindsey Jackson is a student at the University of Florida expecting to graduate in Spring of 2020. She is majoring in Music in Combination with an Outside Field and hopes to attend medical school. As part of the University Scholars Program, she is
studying viral manipulation of neuronal cilia. She is currently constructing adeno-associated virus vectors to elongate and ablate cilia in specific regions of the brain.
Patty Pozo
My name is Patricia Pozo, I attend UF and I am projected to graduate Fall 2020. I am majoring in biology and minoring in health disparities. My project revolves around discovering if angiotensin receptors can be found in the Olfactory Bulb, which is primarily done by IHC procedures.
Hema Karlapudi
Studying the effects of psychostimulants on cilia length and GPCR localization. Hema is a Microbiology and Behavioral Cognitive Neuroscience double-major, and is planning on graduating in 2021. She is investigating the impact of drugs on primary cilia length and functioning in the brain.
Magdalena Moskal
Studying the effects of psychostimulants on cilia length and GPCR localization. My name is Maggie Moskal and I am double majoring in Behavioral and Cognitive Science as well as Spanish. I will be graduating UF in Spring 2020. I am working on a project analyzing the effects of cocaine and methamphetamine on primary cilia length in reward centers in mice brains. This project includes tracking motor behaviors before and after drug administration, brain embedding and slicing, and immunostaining sliced brains.
Viktor Beilman
Viktor joins the lab from RTWH Aachen University. He’s joining us to start some collaborations to look at modulatory processes in the main and accessory olfactory bulbs.
Chang-Hung Wu
Chang-Hung is a UF graduate and has joined the lab as research technician.
Brian Lee
Brian is a UF PhD student in the BMS/Neuroscience program rotating in the lab. Modeling the classic "at the cyrostat" pose, Brian will be learning several new techniques and jumping in the neuromodulation studies this spring.
