The Cerione laboratory would like to welcome our newest Postdoctoral scholar, Rebecca Schmitt. Rebecca received their PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University at Buffalo in 2022, where they studied under the advisement of Dr. Paras N. Prasad. Their graduate research largely consisted of the design and development of polymeric nanoparticles for the treatment of central nervous system diseases, with additional work including the investigation of the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injuries. Now, in our laboratory, Rebecca will be stepping into the field of cellular signaling to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying the development and function of the mammalian nervous system.
