Macrophage plasticity and manipulation of macrophage activation pathways by intracellular parasite toxoplasma gondii
(2013-05)See thesis pdf (due to special character formatting) -
Mutagenesis of a conserved cysteine in the Hsp70 molecular chaperone BiP: Impact of amino acid substitution on BiP’s ability to protect cells against endoplasmic reticulumderived oxidative stress
(2015-01)Recently, it has been shown that oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) produces potentially significant amounts of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although ROS accumulation can cause profound ... -
Neuromodulator and olfaction deficits in an MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's Disease
(2015-01)The aim of this project is to quantify the olfactory dysfunctions associated with Parkinson’s Disease in a mouse 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) model. Parkinson’s Disease, like many neurodegenerative ... -
Novel epoxide-based glutamate agonist class of pesticide: Synthesis, binding mechanism, and potency
(2014-05)Global food production poses one of the greatest challenges for the planet in coming decades, and synthesis of next generation safer pesticides ranks among the important methods in combating this challenge. The vast majority ... -
Optimization of non-viral transfection methods for equine mesenchymal stem cells
(2013-05)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have exciting medical potential, especially those that are genetically modified. Non-viral methods for genetic modification present several advantages over viral methods, and hence, such methods ... -

Parsing complex community interactions with regulators and non-governmental organizations in relation to local environmental management at Honeoye Lake, New York
(2019-05)This research sought to understand the complex interactions between governmental and non-governmental organizations engaged in assessing or managing the environmental issue of cyanobacterial blooms (commonly known as harmful ... -
Population Scale Transcriptome Profiling from Mixed Samples using Single-Cell Analysis
(2017-05)One powerfull tool in understanding how genetic variations can lead to changes in gene expression across human population involves measuring mRNA expression levels in large scale, with high-throughput sequencing. Still, ... -
Potential genetic causes for sexual dimorphism in immune response of Drosphila melanogaster in respose to infection with the fungal pathogen Beauberia bassinan
(2015-05)The innate immune response is an organism’s first line of defense against disease, be it bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, and it is an integral part of the evolutionary survival of any species. A well-studied model ... -
Socioeconomic status and the brain: A fuzzy-trace theory approach to address concussion underreporting
(2019-05)A growing body of evidence suggests that concussions in both adolescents and young adults are often overlooked, underreported, and inadequately treated. Failing to report symptoms associated with a concussion frequently ... -
The chemical and biological investigation of plants that target the human estrogen receptor: Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek)
(2015-05)The occurrence of chemicals of natural origin that possess the capacity to mimic the hormonal properties of estrogen has been previously reported in the biomedical literature. From these reports, it is apparent that the ... -
The Role of the Ventral Hippocampus and Anterior Olfactory Nucleus in Contextually Cued Odor Discrimination
(2017-05)The hippocampus has been shown to play a crucial part in context encoding in rodents. However, the mechanisms by which the hippocampus affects contextually cued behavior have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, I ... -
The use of reverse line-blot hybridization for the detection of Trichostrongylid nematodes in small ruminants
(2018-05)Helminth infections are among the top causes of economic loss in the upkeep of small ruminants, and with anthelmintic resistance on the rise, it is vital that rapid and versatile diagnostic tests be developed to better ... -
Understanding the mechanism of cargo recognition by the Ssh4-Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase complex at the yeast vacuole membrane
(2019-05)The preservation of a healthy proteome is important for all cellular function. Sequential protein quality control (QC) mechanisms along the endocytic pathway safeguard the identity of different organelles by eliminating ... -
Variation in the uptake of thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid pesticide, in the NAM Founder inbreds of maize
(2019-05)Neonicotinoid pesticides have recently come under fire for their negative impacts on pollinators. However, seed treatments of neonicotinoid compounds such as imidacloprid are regularly applied to over 79% of maize grown ... -
