Dr. Jin Ye is a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Dr. Weikai Li in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Ye received a B.A. in Biotechnology from Northeast Agricultural University and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of Science and Technology of China, where his work focused on the mechanistic and functional studies of Ankyrin-G mediated protein complex in neuronal polarity maintenance and signal transmission.
During his postdoctoral training at the Li lab, his work mainly focuses on structural and mechanistic studies of vesicular neurotransmitter transporters. (more…)
Dr. Brent Scott is a second-year postdoc in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Greenberg and is currently funded by the Pediatric Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease Training Program. Dr. Scott received his B.S. in Exercise Science with a minor in Sports Medicine from Belmont University (Nashville, TN) and was a research assistant for Dr. Ted Towse in the Neuromuscular Physiology Laboratory at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He then received both an M.S. and Ph.D. in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst working in the Muscle Biophysics Laboratory of Dr. Ned Debold where he studied the basis of energy transduction by myosin and the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle fatigue.
