Dr. Valance Washington

Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death in the western world and platelets are a major part of that eitology.  Come save the world with us! Platelets play a unique role in the cardiovascular system by patrolling the vasculature and ensuring its integrity. Platelet dysfunction, however, is associated with approximately 40% of deaths in the western world resulting in excessive health care costs. In recent years it has become increasingly obvious that platelets play a larger role in the vasculature than hemostasis. The platelet’s unique anuclear structure and possession of storage granules make them an enigma amongst the leukocyte population. Because there is no nucleus, responses beyond 30 minutes after stimulation are not well understood and granule release plays a large role in platelet function. It is the long-term goal of this project to better understand the platelet’s role in health and disease and to exploit their biology for therapeutic benefit.

Dr. Douglas Wendell

Research in the Wendell lab is using molecular tools for identifying and detecting invasive organisms in the environment. One area of research is the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) which is the traces of DNA that all organisms shed into the environment. One part of eDNA is using it as a tool for detection. However, there are also questions about how much information can we obtain from eDNA in terms of organism distribution and abundance.

Mentors From Chemistry

Dr. Adam Avery

The Avery lab studies the spectrin superfamily of cytoskeletal proteins that includes β-spectrin and α-actinin. Mutations in β-spectrin and α-actinin cause disorders of the brain and heart, respectively. One focus of the lab is to understand how human disease mutations impact β-spectrin and α-actinin at the molecular level. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying disease is essential for development of therapeutic strategies. Indeed, the lab is actively engaged in high throughput drug screening to identify small molecule modulators of mutant β-spectrin and α-actinin. Further, we are interested in understanding the basic biology of how spectrin superfamily members support neuron and muscle function through the characterization of novel interacting proteins and genesresearch focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control morphogenesis and maintenance of intricate neuronal structures, and how these mechanisms are disrupted to cause neurological disease. The lab employs protein biochemical, and genetic and live imaging approaches using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly). Students in the lab have the unique opportunity to explore questions in neurobiology at both the single molecule and whole organism level.

Dr. Thomas Bianchette

Dr. Bianchette’s research interests include natural hazards, sedimentology, Quaternary paleoenvironments, paleoclimatology, and coastal dynamics. Field work consists of sediment coring and extracting surface samples from lacustrine, beach, and marsh environments. Laboratory techniques include geological (e.g., loss-on-ignition), biological (e.g., pollen, charcoal), and chemical (e.g., x-ray fluorescence) proxies.

Dr. Kodiah Beyeh

It is very challenging to develop new materials with well-defined properties based on specially designed properties of the molecular constituents for the translation of the intrinsic properties of molecules into material properties. It is therefore essential to have control over the molecular interactions and orientation to create function in the material. In our group, we work on designing supramolecular materials through high-affinity and selective binding of several chemical, polymeric, and bioanalytes with synthetic supramolecular receptors possessing defined cavities. As a Summer Student in our group, you would perform cutting-edge experiments in a dynamic research environment. You would learn how to prepare different receptor-substrate assemblies and investigate their chemical and physical properties with the use of novel experimental techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS).

These methods can be applied to recreational water quality, invasive species, and the problems experienced by Toledo and other Lake Erie Water Treatment Plants. We are also developing new mass spectrometry methods for endocrine disrupting chemicals and cyanobacterial toxins.

Dr. Evan Trivedi

Synthetic chemistry is the basis of our research with applications in molecular imaging, medicine, and optical devices. The common thread in our synthetic targets is light activation. We create new organic scaffolds that bind to metals and then we study their organic and metal based photoactive properties. Whether a new target molecule is used for its fluorescent properties for imaging or to generate reactive oxygen species for therapy, we aim to assess photophysical properties, biocompatibility, and reactivity for a myriad of practical applications. Students will gain experience with 1) typical organic/inorganic synthetic techniques, 2) photophysical measurements by luminescence spectroscopy, and 3) handling human cells in tissue culture for in vitro characterization of biocompatibility.

Dr. Zhe Wang
