Behavioral Neuroscience/Saturday Academy - POSITION FILLED FOR 2008
Internship Start Date: 04/01Internship End Date: 09/01 Contact Information: Please Email
Dr. Jacob Raber
The mentor’s primary emphasis is on the relationships between the brain and behavior. This laboratory is interested in the effects of genetic and environmental factors on brain function in experimental mouse models of human neurological diseases. Routinely, a combination of behavioral, neuroendocrine, and neurochemical approaches are used. The apprentice will be assigned the task of evaluating anxiety, learning and memory in an Alzheimer's disease-related mouse model. This is essential research because test and treatment strategies to improve brain function in humans suffering from neurological diseases are developed based on what is learned in the mouse model. The apprentice will receive experience in mouse behavioral testing. Coursework in psychology would also be beneficial for the applicant. The apprentice will need to wear neat, clean clothing and shoes (i.e. professional appearance). Successful applicants should support animal research for the advancement of scientific understanding, as well as the improvement of human and non-human health and welfare.
Stipend
This apprenticeship provides a $1,000.00 stipend.
Requirements
Must be at least 16 years old; completed biology and math.

Internship Start Date: 06/02Internship End Date: 09/02 Contact Information: Please Email
Dr. Charlotte Kubicky
Looking for a motivated medical student with an interest in Radiation Oncology or Diagnostic Radiology to participate in a clinical research project. The aim of the project is to analyze abdominal organ motion using four dimensional (4D) CT datasets. Unlike traditional CT scans, 4DCT enables us to link CT images with the respiratory cycle and to study organ motion. One of the challenges in delivering radiation to abdominal tumors, including tumors of the pancreas and liver, is that these tumors move considerably with respiration. Traditional radiation targets have included large margins, resulting in unnecessary radiation to the surrounding normal tissue. To improve the therapeutic ratio, accurate volumetric information is needed to better define targets, and lower the risk of radiation injury to normal tissues of the abdomen.
The student will help delineate normal pancreas and pancreatic tumors using Corvus and Eclipse treatment planning software. Motion of the liver and kidneys will also be examined. Data analysis will be carried out in collaboration with the Department of Bioinformatics. Research can be carried out during the summer and continue throughout the school year.
This is not only a good opportunity to learn body CT anatomy, but also to contribute to a publication. Results of the preliminary study have been submitted to American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology.
