Postdoctoral Research
|

| As a postdoc in the
Lester/Davidson
lab at Caltech, I used lentivirus to label neurons and mouse brain |
||||
|
The goal was to silence targeted
neurons by increasing potassium conductance by expressing a constitutively open K channel, ROMK1 (for text of a talk explaining the project, go here ) or decreasing sodium conductance by suppressing Na channel expression using NRSF (neuron restrictive silencer factor) |
|||
|
|

Group members |
Here are some results of injection of ROMK1 and NRSF into mouse embryos |
|||
| Jeremiah Kloepfer, postdoc since 4/1/02 Jeremy is working on CdSe and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), elucidating their photophysical properties in aqueous solutions and investigating their use as biological labels |
||||
| Diane Engler, senior technician, astrobiology Diane is a protein chemist with several years of industrial experience. She works on protein purification of ion channels, molecular cloning, and fluorescent tagging of proteins. |
Here are some pictures of multielectrode
arrays ( MEA
s) infected with lentivirus. Work done in collaboration with Steve Potter of the Pine Lab . |
