Research Interests
The Cellular Function Laboratory conducts basic science research in cell biology, cellular mechanism, inflammation, molecular biology, pathology, and biochemistry. Its main research goal is to examine the effects of alcohol metabolism on normal and obese cellular systems to observe mechanistic changes that may later be treated and/or reversed, and translate this research to patient care. Dr. Curry-McCoy also trains student researchers and mentors master's research projects for Clinical Laboratory Science graduate students.
