Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

罗斯·安·克拉克博士获得了美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。Clark博士在北卡罗莱纳州立大学Edmond Bowden教授的指导下获得博士学位。克拉克博士将在宾夕法尼亚州立大学安德鲁·尤因教授的赞助下继续研究。她的博士后研究目标是开发电分析工具来探测哺乳动物神经细胞的微环境。目的是利用伏安法和安培法来监测培养中单个哺乳动物突触的释放。该研究将涉及亚微米尺寸微电极的构建和利用。通过监测神经递质沿轴突、单突触或人工突触的释放，将有助于我们对神经传递过程的理解。化学博士后研究奖学金项目被视为一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。

Dr. Rose Ann Clark has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Clark received her doctoral degree from North Carolina State University under the supervision of Professor Edmond Bowden. Dr. Clark will continue research at Pennsylvania State University under the sponsorship of Professor Andrew Ewing. Her postdoctoral research will target the development of electroanalytical tools to probe the microenvironment of mammalian nerve cells. The goal is to utilize voltammetry and amperometry to monitor release at single mammalian synapses in culture. The research will involve construction and utilization of microelectrodes of submicrometer dimensions. Through the monitoring of neurotransmitter release along axons, at single synapses, or in artificial synapses, the research will contribute to our understanding of the neurotransmission process. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph. D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
