Each year in the Fall, we take the time to recognize Augusta University faculty members who have contributed significantly to research in the following categories:
Gang Zhou, PhD
Education
The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD -- Ph.D. in Immunology, 2003
Fudan University, Shanghai, China-- MS in Chemistry, 1993
Fudan University, Shanghai, China-- BS in Chemistry, 1990
Research Interests
Research to study how chemo-immunotherapy impacts the tumor microenvironment, and apply the mechanistic insights derived from these studies to develop more effective cancer treatment strategies.
Jessica Faulkner, PhD
Education
University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS-- Ph.D. in Medical Pharmacology, 2015
Augusta University, Augusta, GA-- BS in Biology 2008
Research Interests
Mechanisms of high blood pressure, vascular damage and fetal growth restriction in obese and lean pregnancy
Gabor Csanyi, PharmD, PhD
Education
University of Szeged Albert Sz, Szeged, Hungary-- PhD in Medicine, 2008
University of Szeged Albert Sz, Szeged, Hungary-- PharmD, 2003
Research Interests
Regulation of vascular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in health and disease; the role of distinct vascular isoforms of NADPH oxidase (Nox) and increased ROS generation in the initiation and progression of vascular disorders; vascular redox signaling pathways and identification of new redox targets downstream of Nox activation; the role of matricellular protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) in vascular disease; interrogation of TSP1-CD47-Nox axis as a proximate promoter of macrophage and vascular parenchymal cell ROS and its role in atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular disorders; lymphangiogenesisin atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation; macropinocytosis in pathological processes.
Mark Hamrick, PhD
Education
Northwestern University, Cincinnati, OH -- PhD in Cellular & Integrative Biology, 1995
University of Colorado-Boulder, Boulder, CO-- BS in Anthropology, 1991
Research Interests
Discovering new therapeutic approaches for preventing muscle and bone loss with aging and enhancing muscle and bone repair after injury; interests in defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms of crosstalk among bone and soft tissues such as muscle and fat so that these pathways can be targeted therapeutically in order to prevent and treat bone fractures
