Fred WolfAssociate Professor, Molecular & Cell Biology The Wolf lab studies the genetic and neural circuit mechanisms for coding simple behaviors, including motivated seeking and plasticity driven by addictive drugs. We also study the regulation of DNA damage repair. Publications: Mef2 induction of the immediate early gene Hr38/Nr4a is terminated by Sirt1 to promote ethanol tolerance.

Rudy M. OrtizProfessor, Molecular & Cell Biology Professor Ortiz's research focuses on the regulation of kidney function and metabolism in a variety of animal models, including seals and dolphins, with the intent that the data will have translative value to clinical medicine. These studies are conducted in collaboration with colleagues at:
His lab - in conjunction with collaborators at Kagawa Medical University, SUNY Buffalo Medical School, and Tulane University HSC - investigate:
Professor Ortiz is also pursuing studies that address the link between diabetes and obesity with hypertension. |
