Stephen,Webb,Research Assistant Professor,"Stephen Webb, Ph.D., is a research assistant professor in the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute and the Department of Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management. His research focuses primarily on game and large mammal species such as white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, bighorn sheep, domestic cattle and wild pigs. He uses advanced and novel tracking and sensor devices, including autonomous recording units, to develop behaviorally and spatially explicit models of animal movement, habitat selection, animal interaction and changes in population demographics. Webb is the current book review editor for the ""Journal of Wildlife Management,"" and has served as associate editor for ""Rangeland Ecology and Management."" He enjoys teaching about rigorous research design and analysis as well as scientific writing and publishing. Webb is a 7th generation Texan who enjoys spending as much time as possible with his wife and daughter. He also enjoys hunting, fishing and nature photography.",Research Assistant Professor,"Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management||Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences",https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n28412a74

Gabriella,Ten Have,Research Assistant professor,"My current expert position within the Center for Translational Research in Aging & Longevity (CTRAL) is based on 25-years of expertise on nutrition, metabolism, and in vivo (patho)physiological studies involving the use of stable isotope approaches and methodologies in animals. I was heavily involved in the design and construction of the new Human Clinical Research Facility at Texas A&M University in 2016 (current home of CTRAL) which further increased my laboratory design, management, and leadership skills. As Director of Animal Research within CTRAL, I design the animal use and the stable isotope use protocols, and perform complex surgical procedures. I develop and implement new quantitative metabolic and stable isotope techniques and procedures in large and small animals. As co-director of the CTRAL analytical lab, I review, design, and collect data pertaining to human and animal stable isotope studies collaborating with national and international researchers. I am also responsible for the administrative responsibilities related to regulatory affairs, (budget) management of the labs and clinic. I oversee the coordination of analyses, all pharmacy related activities, quality control, lab personnel, general equipment maintenance, and laboratory safety procedures. I mentor CTRAL research assistants, graduate students and postdocs, and assist faculty and (inter)national collaborating faculty with grant writing and scientific publications. Finally, I'm a Managing editor of the journals Clinical Nutrition (IF:6.4) and Clinical Nutrition ESPEN.

Guolin,Ma,Research Assistant Professor,"I obtained my Ph.D. with a major in Bioinorganic Chemistry, focusing on metallodrugs against cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD). After then, I worked at the Institute of Biosciences & Technology (IBT), Texas A&M University (TMAU) as a postdoc and research scientist dissecting and regulating Calcium Signaling by biochemistry, cell biology, and synthetic biology strategies. I accumulated strong research expertise on Ca2+ signaling in the immune system from mechanistic dissection of SOCE channels to tailoring cell functions using optical and chemical tools. I was promoted as a Research Assistant Professor in Oct 2020 to pursue my independent research program with interests in (i) Design and screening of Ca2+ channel modulators (compounds & peptide/protein drugs) to treat channelopathy or improve T cell immunotherapy; (ii) Delineate novel regulatory mechanisms of Ca2+ signaling in health and disease; (iii) Devise optogenetic, chemical and synthetic biology tools for translational research and biomedical applications. I have been engaged in the interface between chemistry and biology for almost 15 years, with specific training and expertise in Ca2+ imaging, protein engineering, protein chemistry, cell biology, and immunotherapy. So far, I have published 20+ publications as a lead author or corresponding author in well-respected journals, including Nature Communications, JACS, Angew Chem, Advanced Science, Chemical Science, eLife, and PLOS Biology with citations > 2000 times.
My current research interests:
1. Design and screening of CRAC Ca2+ channel modulators including small molecules, peptide/protein drugs, and antibody/nanobody to treat Channelopathy or improve T cell-based immunotherapy.
2. Delineate the regulatory network of the CRAC channel in healthy and diseased states
3. Devising optogenetic, chemical, and synthetic biology tools for precise control of cellular physiology",Research Assistant Professor,Institute of Biosciences and Technology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n99aac0c9
Xin,Wu,Research Assistant Professor,"Mechanical forces are known to stimulate a number of cell signaling pathways, including those initiated by or resulting in ion channel activation. My recent research in cardiovascular and neuronal systems focuses on: (1) Which ion channels are activated by mechanical stress; (2) Which ion channels are modulated by integrins; (3) How integrin-mediated signaling pathways modulate ion channel function and mechanotransduction in physiological and pathological conditions; (4) Epilepsy study, Neurosteroids and New Drug Development.",Research Assistant Professor,Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/na48dc2f9

Karienn,Souza (Montgomery),Research Assistant Professor,"My research focuses on developing neuronal and behavioral models of mild cognitive impairment and early stages of Alzheimer's' Disease. AD is complex and multifaceted, and my goal is to uncover early aspects of the disease pathway in hopes of achieving prevention of further decline.
One aspect of the pathway that is promising in terms of resulting in a successful treatment for AD is to treat the loss of functional synapses. Loss of plasticity and synaptic transmission is one of the earliest hallmarks of AD and one of the best correlates of cognitive dysfunction in aging. It is virtually impossible for this to be studied in humans, and thus little progress has been made in developing therapeutics to resurrect synaptic function. We have developed a mouse model of age-related cognitive impairment in which we can use light (optogenetics) in order to uncover the faulty synaptic mechanisms that promote cognitive dysfunction observed in aging and early AD.",Postdoctoral Research Associate||Research Assistant Professor||Director of NExT Behavior Core,The Texas A&M University System||Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics||Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nc5b013b5
