My research focuses on understanding how bacteria, both individually and as communities, respond to various contaminants. We take two different approaches to this problem. The first involves isolating pure cultures involved in the degradation or transformation of specific chemical compounds and characterizing the genes and enzymes involved in the process. The second approach uses molecular biology techniques to study microbial communities. Many studies have shown that greater than 99% of the bacteria found in nature have yet to be grown in the laboratory. Our challenge is to figure out what these microorganisms are doing in the environment. Molecular tools such as PCR, gene probing, mRNA transcript analysis, and DNA and RNA sequencing can aid in this endeavor by allowing us to study microbial activity without growing the bacteria in the lab.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re also interested in water quality, specifically assessment of fecal pollution of surface waters. We use a combination of culture-based and molecular methods to assess both abundance and sources of fecal pollution in local waters.

Research Interests<\/strong>
My research interests encompass interdisciplinary areas of biochemistry, biotechnology, and cell and molecular biology. Major focus is on understanding receptor mediated signal transduction, as well as intracellular signaling mechanisms mediated by G-proteins and their receptors, second messengers such as inositol polyphosphates, protein kinases, and phosphatases. Emphasis is placed on subcellular compartmentalization, vesicular membrane trafficking, protein-protein interactions, and cellular regulation of apoptosis. My laboratory is also interested in bioinformatics and proteomics approaches in understanding evolutionary and phylogenetic adaptations of genes in higher life forms relative to lower organisms. Biomedical engineering interests include development and characterization of novel nanomaterials for biomedical applications. We are also interested in NASA-related research on counter measure approaches to biological effects of microgravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Interests
<\/strong>The major research emphases of our laboratory have been studying the molecular mechanisms by which cyanobacteria acclimate to high light (HL) stress and engineering cyanobacteria for the production of plant secondary metabolites. We are particularly interested in the function and regulation of a family of four HL-inducible polypeptides (HLIP) in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. HLIPs are required for cyanobacterial to survive the exposure to HL, which causes oxidative stress, redox disturbance and other stresses that result in reduction in photosynthesis and the cell viability. These research activities elucidate HL-stress signaling pathways and reveal the molecular machineries that cells exploit for stress responses. We are also highly interested in using cyanobacteria and other microalgae as bioreactors for the production of plant secondary metabolites, biofuel, and valuable proteins. This is so far a field at its very early stage of development, however, its prospect in research and industry is foreseeable as microalgae systems offer potential advantages (e.g. tolerance to high salinity, ease to tailor genetically and grow in low cost media) over many current existing systems. We are exploring the potential of cyanobacteria as a \u201ccell factory\u201d to produce phenylpropanoids and unsaturated fatty acids. We also use the cyanobacterial cells as a complex \u201cexperiment station\u201d to study the functions of these compounds in stress defense and cell survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an integrative biologist and evolutionary ecologist focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying organismal responses to rapid environmental change. I am particularly interested in understanding the role of phenotypic plasticity in mediating these responses in reptiles and the molecular processes underpinning that plasticity. I employ laboratory and field experiments to explore physiological, morphological, and behavioral variation within and among populations and the eco-evolutionary processes underlying that variation, with the aim of understanding how that variation and the eco-evolutionary processes at work affect long-term population and species persistence in changing environments.

\nThe target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an essential enzyme complex for cell growth. However, a subset of TORC1 negatively regulates lifespan extension. Using the model organism budding yeast, we found that a two-fold up-regulation of a lipid transporter Osh6 significantly extends the replicative lifespan, a measure of rounds of cell division. Intriguingly, this longevity manipulation down-regulates TORC1 but does not harm cell growth, suggesting a specific repression of the pro-aging subset of TORC1. We are exploring the underlying mechanisms for such repression with a combination of biochemical, cell biological, genetical, and genomics approaches. Since human homologs of Osh6 and mTORC1 are involved in the development of cancer and other age-dependent diseases, elucidation of the anti-aging mechanisms triggered by Osh6 would provide insights to practices aimed at extending the lifespan of stem cells as well as the health span of humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nImprovement of crop yield and nutritional quality has always been my research goal. High yield and high nutritional quality super crops need to possess the following attributes: (1) have extraordinary capacity of assimilation (i.e. photosynthesis, mineral element absorption and nitrogen fixation); (2) preferentially transport and accumulate assimilates to economically significant organs; (3) should be highly capable to adapt their structures and developmental processes in response to environmental stresses; (4) be highly resistant to diseases (viruses, bacteria and fungi) and insects. Therefore, my lab and I are undertaking research to understand the physiological, cellular and molecular bases of these processes, and as well as their underlying controlling and regulatory mechanisms via interdisciplinary approaches: Plant Physiology, Plant Cell and Molecular Biology, Genomics, and Plant Development and Nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research interest:<\/strong>
My research focuses on understanding how plants, insects and microbes communicate with each other using chemical cues. Chemicals from insect secretions such as saliva, regurgitant and their feces can induce the production of plant defense compounds, increasing plant resistance to insect pests. The induction of plant defenses by insect-derived compounds is context-dependent and often varies between plant species, and is dependent on the chemicals deposited by insect through their secretions and excretions. My research spans on identifying and characterizing such insect-derived chemical cues that trigger innate plant resistance and dissecting the mechanisms of host plant resistance. The ultimate goal of my work is find integrated pest management strategies that are sustainable and organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can choose one of <a href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/biology\/bs-in-biology\/\">five concentrations<\/a>, including the environmental and organismal biology concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The environmental and organismal biology concentration prepares students interested in ecology, conservation, and organismal biology for entry into graduate programs, employment in governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, or positions where an integrating organismal and ecological background is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students completing this program have a broad background but also have enough upper-level courses to build depth in knowledge and skills. The program provides sufficient flexibility that students can tailor their programs to specific needs.

href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/biology\/bs-in-biology\/\">five concentrations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clinical biology concentration prepares students for careers in health care and medical services or other related programs. This concentration can be used to prepare for specific graduate programs or for employment in governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, or positions where an integrating clinical biology degree is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students completing this concentration have a broad background and have enough upper-level courses to build depth in clinical biology theory. This concentration also provides sufficient flexibility to tailor their coursework to fit broader or more specific career needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can use the clinical biology concentration to ready themselves for the following clinical biology options: Cytotechnology, Cardio-Respiratory Care, Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Nuclear Medicine, Imaging Sciences, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Physical therapy, and Physician Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lr-button maroon-solid\" href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/biology\/contact\/\">Request More Information<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/main>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"box-border pumpkin-top box-padding-32 at-a-glance\">\n\t\t\t<h2>At a Glance<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<table class=\"at-a-glace-table\">\n\t\t\t\t<tbody>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<th>Degree:<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology – Clinical Biology Concentration<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<th>Hours:<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>120<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<th>College:<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>Donaghey College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (DCSTEM)<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tbody>\n\t\t\t<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lr-button maroon-outline\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ualr.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=20&poid=6250&returnto=2423\">Curriculum<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1818,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1359","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
