Lab members October 2002:
Top Row: Bottom Row:
Department of Neurobiology Graduate Student email: fgregory@ucla.edu Fred is the recipient of a Gates Millenium Scholarship He participated in the Plymouth Workshop on Microelectrode Techniques. Fred also is a recipient of a SFN travel fellowship. Fred works on vesicle pools in frog saccular hair cells, using electrophysiological methods such as capacitance measurements. His paper is in press and available online with the Journal of Physiology.
Graduate Student email: kwilla@ucla.edu
Kristen works on a project on Parkinson's Disease in collaboration with Dr. Stefan Pulst at Cedar Sinai Hospital. She just received a 13th percentile on her NRSA application!
Graduate Student email: acmartin@ucla.edu Alberto is a graduate student in the Neuroscience IDP, a recipient of an ARCS scholarship and a NASA Harriet G. Jenkins fellowship! His work as an undergraduate got published in the Journal of Membrane Biology! He works on short term plasticity in cultured slices.
Technician email: fefechow@hotmail.com Fiona is responsible for cell culture, ordering, workstudy student and is doing experiments to look at regulation of protein levels in neurons.
Peyman Golshani MD, PhD; Resident in Neurology email: pgolshani@yahoo.com Peyman is investigating thalamocortical and hippocampal plasticity in brian slices of DNA-methylation mutant mice in collaboration with Dr. Guoping Fan's group.
Sheila Soleymani Master Student in Physiological Sciences email: ssoley@ucla.edu Shiela is recording calcium currents in mouse utricular hair cells.

email: Missippy80@aol.com Tanya graduated in Neuroscience from UCLA. During her undergraduate career, she received a Howard Hughes Researcher award, won the Dean's Prize for Undergraduate Research and won the best poster prize from the Undergraduate Neuroscience IDP! She worked on synaptic transmission in cultured neurons using dual-patch clamp recording techniques and found that short-term plasticity can be regulated independent of initial synaptic strength. These findings are currently in press at Nature Neuroscience. She has started in summer of '03 with the MD/PhD program at Columbia University.
Brooke Hargrove email: brookeann94@hotmail.com Brooke graduated in Psychology from UCLA and was responsible for tissue culture, immunocytochemistry, transfections and for the daily running of the lab. She started medical school in summer '03 at the University of Hawai`i
email: edmonds@bragg.bio.uci.edu visit his web-site on the history of patch clamp! Brian is a Senior Research Associate at UC Irvine.
email: pnilson@physci.ucla.edu
Paige graduated from Pomona College and also worked in Dr. Stephanie White's lab. She is currently working on her veterinary degree at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University.
Zhengyu Zhou email:
zhengyuzhou@hotmail.com Zhengyu was writing data analysis programs in LabView and C++ for the lab. He recently relocated to San Diego where he now works in a small biotech firm.
Paul Rigor Undergraduate Student Researcher email: pryce@ucla.edu
Paul graduated from with a Neuroscience Major in 2004.
Postdoctoral Researcher email: impact@ucla.edu Iona was testing the hypothesis that NPY can regulate synaptic transmission. She currently works in Dr. Nick Brecha's lab characterizing antibodies against NPY-receptors.
